Stu Ungar Story

Broke : A Poker Novel

Banker and Suicide King

Winning Secrets of Poker (Great book)

PokerFarce and PokerTruth

Lessons from the Pro Poker Tour

Positively Fifth Street

Poker Passion

Poker Essays 1,2,3 (Just one will do)

Tournament Poker and the Art of War.

Theory of Poker

That's my list and baby let the flames come because I am pretty ashamed of every single person who replied to this thread.

The dam kids cousin was in a car wreck and likes to READ... the very least you people can do is help the guy books about poker that will entertain him in his hour of need.

I'll be honest if I got hurt real bad and some idiot told my cousin to buy me the mathmatics of poker to read while I was lying in bed at home I'd punch him in the face the second I was healthy.

With the exception of PokerFarce and Truth and Mason Malmuths Poker Essays I can't think of a 2+2 book that is not a dry read.

Now before the flame nits come at me again.... I've made NUMEROUS POSTS that there is no better source of poker knowledge in the world than 2+2 books.

But if 90 % of you are recommending books on standard deviation math formulas, Probability Charts, etc etc to a sick kid who was in an accident you are just trying to peddle books and don't care about giving the sick kid a read.

NOW ONE LAST POINT if the OP had said his friend was looking to improve his poker game and wanted to sit in bed studying formulas until his body healed (which I don't see at all) Then yes my books would suck and your would be correct.
Your books are all better for strategy but mine are better for the sick kid.

Have a heart 2+2 ..... Have a heart

He didn't state whether he wanted strategy or not. As been as the op said he was sending TOP and SSHE, it is fair to assume that it was ok to provide more strategy suggestions. Also, if you actually read the posts?? you'd realise there was additional non-strategy material recommended as well.
