Both of those are excellent. Phil's book is such an easy read...I think I finished it in 2 hours. TAP is kind of a grind but much easier than advanced hold'em or whatever it is called.

Harrington on Holdem volume one transformed me from a recreational player to someone who actually knew how to think about the game as soon as I'd finished it. It's always the first book I recommend to people who want to make that kind of transition. Alot of very basic concepts, but stuff you just have to know.

TOP and Mathematics of Poker which should have been called TOP2. You don't need any other books.

I totally agree I do find sklanksys books a bit of a grind to read, but honestly his material is great, and he knows his stuff.

The little green book is a great read for sure, great substance and great writing style.
