Default A Question for Limit Hold\'em Players

Hey guys,
I am playing poker for over 3 years now. I started playing limit hold'em but eventually shifted to no-limit SNGs and MTTs. I did okay and built a reasonable bankroll playing in those tournaments.

Even though I enjoy playing SNGs and MTTs, my long-term goal is to become a very successful limit player.

At the time I quit playing limit hold'em (almost 2 years ago) I was playing 5/10 (with some 3/6 6max) and I was a breakeven player.

Today, I have more than enough bankroll to play in a 5/10 game but I want to prove myself that I can beat this level before I advance any further. In other words, I want to improve my limit game both theoretically and practically.

Below are the books that I have in "my poker archive" regarding to limit hold'em;

1) Winning Low limit Hold'em by Lee Jones
2) The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky
3) Inside the Poker Mind by John Feeney
4) Small Stakes Hold'em by Ed Miller, David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth
5) Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players by David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth
6) Super System 2 (Limit section by Jennifer Harman)
7) Internet Texas Hold'em by Matthew Hilger
8) Middle Limit Holdem Poker by Bob Ciaffone and Jim Brier
9) Weighing the Odds in Hold'em Poker by King Yao
10) Winning in Tough Hold'em Games by Stoxtrader and Zobags
11) How Good is Your Limit Hold'em? by Byron Jacobs and Jim Brier
12) Advanced Limit Hold'em Strategy by Barry Tanenbaum

I have read the first 4 books and mostly skimmed through the other ones.

I am a patient person who wants to study the game before (and during) I hit the limit tables again.
But I am not sure which book should I be reading first. In which order would you prefer to read these books? Any books that you wouldnt even bother reading?

It would be great if some of you can point me to right direction by saying "that book is good for x limits only" or "you should definitely read x book in order to compete in a 5/10 game" etc.

Thank you
