Default Re: In what order should I read these books? Any must-reads missing?

OP,

I'll tell you right now you're being unrealistic and going to overwhelm yourself if you try to set up a plan to read and absorb all of that. Pick a game you want to develop and start there, put the rest of them on that shelf for another time. My easy recommendations:

LHE: Small Stakes Hold'em, Hold'em for Advanced Players

NLHE cash: Harrington 1, Professional No Limit 1

NLHE tourneys/SNGs: Harrington 1 & 2

and in all cases, follow up with Theory of Poker (some say read this first, but I personally don't like it as a first book because some people lose interest).

As far as poker Zen, Tao, Psychology... these are better for a rainy day when you have nothing to do.
