Default best books for \"player types\" & \"reading hands\"

hi,

i really find this forum helpful.

looking to buy a couple more books in the next few weeks.

i have:

sklansky (HPFAP, TOP
miller (SSHE)
Harrington I and II (great, but assumes good opponents)
yao king
carson
maroon
little green book
lindgren
kill phil
a few others (hellmuth, a canadian obscure one and one of two others bought from discount bin).

i am looking to get into no-limit and tournaments/SNG's more

what books are the best for reading your opponents and characterizing him/her and then adjusting action.

books i'm thinking of:

ciaffone (mid-level and/or no-limit/PL)
inside poker mind
psychology of poker
russell fox

i still think there's a giant need in the market for a SSHE book, but for no-limit. realizing that we play against tons of callers and want to maximize our winnings against softish players (not wildly soft necessarily)...

i think SSHE was one of the first books that assumed your opponents weren't too great. harrington's books are great, but they assume good opposition for most part AND not these 3-4 callers we often see (i think it's a quandry in SNG's, lots of good opportunities with limpers but almost always constrained by your stack size).

thanks in advance!!!
