I agree with TT. Take a look at some of his other value-added posts. Great contribution.

I think a lot of people might be interested in this. I've been very busy lately. Anyone have time to make the poll?

"Cards" by Jonathan Maxwell shines above the rest.

Has anyone else read this yet besides, like, 3 people here? I'm still on a high from reading it. It took a week to sink in, too. I think it's deeper than I originally thought, as days after I began to think of the charachter more objectively, and realized how completely he represents the burnout veteran.

And I think the writing quality is very high grade, like the guy is an author first and a player second.

I've read excerpts of "Cards" and it looked excellent.

I'm reading "Blink" (Malcolm Gladwell) now and I believe it is an important read for serious poker players. Goes into how you mind thinks (unconscious vs. conscious) and introduces a term known as thin-slicing...which is basically picking the important bits when you are overloaded with information. "Blink" also made this year's BusinessWeek Top 10.
