Default What book should I read next?

I just got finished up with the summer session at school and have a couple weeks before I have to start back for fall. I want to read 2 books during this time.

Here is what I have read:
Super System
Super System 2
Harrington on Holdem
Play poker like the Pros
Small Stakes Holdem

I was thinking about Theory of Poker or the 3rd edition of Winning Low Limit Holdem.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I play Limit and NL Holdem. I have read about other games but don't regularly play them.

If you only ever read one book about poker, Theory of Poker would be the one to read.

Well you see theroy of poker is not out to make you play a better game, its basicly showing you the underlying concepts in poker.Mainly if a play a positive expection and and is not directed towards any one game, but poker in general.Its a good complex book but if ur looking to move up to more advanced book try Holdem for advanced players is great after SSH.

Okay, I am going to get Theory of Poker tomorrow from the B&N. I also was wondering about a book that is more for pleasure. Any recommendations on that? I have heard that the Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King is good. What about Aces and Kings? Which one is better?

Suicide king is very enjoyable. No idea about the other one. The Big Deal by Anthony Holden is also good but I enjoyed suicide king more.

I enjoyed "Positively 5th Street" by Jim McManus and "The Biggest Game in Town" by A Alvarez

Went to B&N tonight and out of the million poker books, they were sold out of Suicide King. I read little of Aces and Kings and decided to buy it. I will give a review of it in a few days when I get done with it.

There's no arguing with Theory of Poker of course, but I'd definitely add Weighing the Odds by King Yao.
