Best books to read in optimal order?

[TomBrooks]

I will suggest:

LLHE
SSH
TOP

LLHE is geared towards teaching rank beginners, neither of the other two are.

SSH provides continuing education and improvement on LLHE concepts.

TOP is more general and theoretical and will not get you started playing like the other two will, although I can see how reading TOP before SSH couldn't hurt.

If you already know how to play pretty good, you might not need LLHE.

Those are the only three I own though besides SS and Caro's Tells and Poker For Dummies.
