Holier.  (Sorry John)  The Powers reading list for the modern setting of UA 
is:
Last Call (Most Important.  Read it NOW)
Expiration Date
Earthquake Weather
These three make up a kinda trilogy, but it's loose.

For historical wackiness:
The Anubis Gates
On Stranger Tides

Other books:(Which I can't categorize cause I haven't read em yet)
The Drawing of the Dark
Dinner at Deviant's Palace
The Stress of Her Regard

Last Call is the best for UA stuff, without a doubt.  14 books?  That's all?  
I gave up on shelving to read books separately since they started taking up 
more than a shelf.

Enjoy!
