Method for "studying" a poker book...

[sethypooh21]

So, I'm on a complete back to basics kick, and am rereading many of the educational materials. First time through I made the mistake of going straight to HPFAP, and WHOA BOY...anyway, after a year of being a profitable player, I've decided to dial in and really start moving up limits, and I think this probably requires some refinements to my game (this forum has certainly helped, my VPIP has dropped almost %10 in the month or so I've been coming here).

Refinement requires study, and study means books. First of all, which would you all recomend going back through first. Like I say, I'm a winning layer though most of my experience is NL/tourney holdem. Done with WLH, I think I'm well past its advice. What next? I've seen various recomendations for TOP, SSHE, ITH, and MLH (all of which I've read or skimmed).

And does anyone else have a method for study? Do you actually sit down and outline the concepts as you are reading (or afterwords)? I want to RETAIN this knowledge so I can better apply it.

Thanks in advance.
