My own is Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae Commentary.
A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd ed. (BDAG)
Mine is/are June Hunt's 100 Biblical Counseling Keys One key alone makes for 2 or 3 sessions teaching material (or more depending on how you aim the lessons). Helps in counseling too...duh...that's why they're called "counseling keys" lol.
Blessins!

This gives me an idea for a new feature in Logos. I'd love to be able to sort my library in order of most frequently opened, so if Logos could keep track of how many times I've opened a resource, that would be cool. Then I could easily tell you what my most enjoyable Logos resource is. As of now, I'm not sure. It's a toss-up between Collins English Dictionary, 8th ed. and Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary. In addition to being useful for looking up something specific, they are also enjoyable to browse in.
As for sheer fun to browse through or delight in reading (though not all that useful to go back to over and over), some of my favorites have been Curiosities of the Bible Pertaining to Scripture Persons, Places and Things; Memoir and Remains of the Rev. Robert Murray McCheyne; and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.
Any textbook for class I've found great use having in Logos. Currently in my Doctrine of Salvation course, we're using Bruce Demarest's The Cross and Salvation: The Doctrine of Salvation
The use of the immediate scripture pop ups makes checking scripture proofs a breeze!

That's good to hear. I bought that title during the Christmas sale. Of course, I have about 2 or 3 dozen titles to read first, but now that you mention it—I'm going to read that one next. Thank you. [8-|]
I would have to say my A. W. Tozer collection. So far I've read through 19 of them.
I want that Tozer collection. Hopefully it will be on sale again one day. I don't know HOW I missed the last one.
The Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament.
It is Gods Word indeed, but this resource helped me extremely to interact with the Greek text.
For sheer fun and enjoyment Torah through Time by Shai Cherry with Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg coming in as a close second.
This post is ALL about enjoyment. Thanks for responding.
The Messianic Bible Study Collection from Ariel Ministries.
I KNOW it sounds dry but "Robert Reymond's Systematic theology"...
A Discourse Grammar of the Greek New Testament, by Steven Runge
The Historical Jesus; Ancient Evidence for the Life of Christ, by Gary Habermas
I just started reading The Complete Works of Francis Schaeffer. We'll see how that one goes
I have several favorites so do not really know where to begin. So, I will try and answer this as best I can.
First, I favor Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament.
I always use good old Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.
I am always refering to the Early Church Fathers Protestant Edition because many resources I read quotes the early church fathers.
I read a lot on apologetics and worldviews and some of those resources I would call enjoyable and others I would not. I love Walter C. Kaiser and those like him who deal with the Old Testament. So, if you can't tell yet, I find the Old Testament and resources as the most enjoyable.
I have the Calvin 500 collection and find that I really enjoy seeing what Calvin has to say on a passage, especially from his commentaries.
I have always appreciated the in depth work of R. C. H Lenski. His N.T. Commentary set does not come with any of the Logos bundles but they do offer his works as an add on.

Without a doubt the most useful to me in seminary, which brings me great joy, is the Theological Journals.
The Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament. It is Gods Word indeed, but this resource helped me extremely to interact with the Greek text.
It took me a while to pull the trigger on this one. But I'm so glad I did. It truly is a groundbreaking resource.
Wow. Too many to reply. But lately I have really enjoyed:
Calvin's commentary on 1John. Awesome stuff.
Always Horae Homileticae
I really like the R. Kent Hughes commentaries and I always begin every NT pericope with the Bible Background Commentary by the venerable Craig Keener.
Hmmm. I guess when you asked which is most enjoyable I took that to mean reading for relaxation rather than scholarly work or sermon / lesson prep. Not that I don't find my work enjoyable. [:)] But for leisure reading I like the Discipleship Journal archive. It has twenty four years of a magazine that I was quite sad to see go out of print. Between the Logos archive and my printed copies I lack only four issues. The entire archive of the magazine is also available online but having the Logos links and interacion is nice.
For sermon and lesson prep I enjoy "The Bible Speaks Today" series along with the "Preaching the Word' series of commentaries. They both complement the various translations of the Bible and the interlinears quite nicely.
While not having been in seminary, this is my favorite also.

It is hard to narrow down.
Probably the NICOT / NICNT
But a close second would the Ancient Christian Commentary on the Scripture.
For sheer pleasure, The History and Biography Magazines. Love to browse and read a few articles on my iPad.
