My poker library

[clowntable]

Since my shipment just arrived I'll do a [brag, beat or variance you judge] post and encourage others to do the same. I'll try to get it into chronological order:
1) Holdem Poker for Advanced Players
This got me started, my thinking went somewhere along the lines of "no beginners book needed, I'm too good for that" and all I knew about Poker from googling was that there were some starting hands charts by a guy named Sklansky and I figured if you got that chart you're good to go :P
2) Small Stakes Holdem (Miller)
3) Harrington on Hold'em 1
4) Harrington on Hold'em 2
5) Lille Green Book
6) No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice
7) Read them and Reap
8) Tournament Poker for Advanced Players
9) Kill Phil
10) Ace on the River
11) Mathematics of Poker
12) Theory of Poker
13) Harrington on Hold'em 3
14) Little Blue Book
15) Making the Final Table
16) Poker Tournament Formula
17) Super System 2
18) Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide - Tournament Edition

19) Positively 5th Street
20) Big Deal
21) The Professor, the Banker and the Suicide King
22) The Biggest Game in Town

I'm sure I missed one along the line. 19-22 are not "Strategy Books" the rest are.

I don't own any poker books. When I was but a wee lad of 17, I moved to Montreal all on my own. For the first 2 weeks, I had no internet connection, no TV, school hadn't started, and I knew NOBODY, so I had alot of free time on my hands.

I started spending everyday in Chapters just reading books, and on my second day I stumbled upon Super System II by Doyle Brunson. Given that I had played a few Hold'Em games at my friends house before, I figured I would read that part.

From then on, I became obsessed with poker, and during those two weeks in Chapters, I read Hold'em For Advanced Players, Theory of Poker, Harrington I, II, Ace on the River and Caro's Book of Tells.

And then my life as a degen took off, as I took my first semester book money and deposited it onto Party.

I've got:

1) Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players (first purchase, and was accidental, i thought it had NL stuff in there too)
2) Tournament Poker for Advanced Players
3) Caro's Book of Tells
4) Super System
5) Super System 2
7) Positively 5th Street
8) Ace on the River
9) Harrington on Holdem 1 (on loan to bobo)
10) HOH 2 (on loan to bobo)
11) Kill Phil (on loan to bobo)
12) Theory and Practice of NL Hold'em
13) Bad Beats and Lucky Draws (lol)
14) The Professor, Banker and Suicide King
15) Cards by Johnathan Maxwell (fiction book)
16) Mathematics of Poker (just arrived yesterday)

I'm probably forgetting one or two that I own. I've read every single one cover to cover, and a few of them multiple times (except Mathematics of Poker obv). These books without a doubt helped me a TON, and have been worth every penny (even the sucky ones).

Best book in the thread so far! Michael Craig is the man!

(not the most profitable, but the best)
