Oh really? I was told many of the S & M books were similar to reading text books (boring and tough to digest)

Perhaps you should read one and judge for yourself. I've read a lot of text books in my time, and I certainly don't think they read like text books. (They don't have amusing stories in them, but they are about improving your poker, not entertaining you).

For reference, I have a BS in discrete math and an MBA, so you could aptly classify me as a "math guy." How ever, all the math in the 2+2 books is adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.

If you want to ease into it, pick up something like Caro's Fundamentals of Winning Poker (or something like that). He does a little math and phillosophy and writes in a light style that is not intimidating.
