Thousands; much too many to list. Just to give you an idea, Rashi's paramount, indispensable commentary on the Torah has itself garnered more than two hundred published super-commentaries. And Rambam's (Maimonides) Mishna Torah (Jewish law) has more than 370 published commentaries.

To return to your question, the most important books are the Bible (Tanakh) and the Talmud. The Hebrew Bible consists of 24 books, and the Talmud has a number of volumes containing 2720 pages.

Why do Jews still not eat ham even though the Law of Moses is no longer necessary?

We don't believe that the Law of Moses is no longer necessary. The view that the Mosaic Law is no longer necessary is a Christian view based on Paul's writings, especially in the Books of Hebrews and Galatians. Judaism holds that none of Paul's writings (or any of the New Testament for that matter) is relevant or important in determing Jewish practice. The Jewish perspective is that the Law is eternally binding on the Jewish people.
