Poker Essays make great bathroom reading. haven't read the other two.

They're all good. They all contain a series of relatively short essays & articles.

Do you have anything specific you're looking for? Any criteria to judge between them?
For example, Poker Essays probably contains more specific poker (Holdem/7-stud) content than the other two, which tend to be more gambling-generic. But that's obvious from the titles I guess.

Well, aside from these, I own or have skimmed through (for games I don't play, like 8/b and SCS) most 2+2 books. I'm probably looking for something a bit more poker-oriented, but all sound interesting. Thanks. I'll take a closer look at Poker Essays.

"Poker, Gaming, and Life" is one of my favorite Sklansky books.

I'm not sure that it's what you're looking for, but give it a read sometime.
