Default I am looking for a good poker book...

What are some of the good books out there that arent about strategy or systems, (because I already have most of those) but about just the players, stories about the game, some of the biggest games played. I know I have heard of them I just can't find them.

Yeah. It's a common book.

Positively Fifth Street and Poker Nation are great, too.

Positively Fifth Street is good if you are the literary type.

I cant finish it because it spends too much time trying to draw comparisons between Stu Ungar and Sylvia Plaths' lifestyles and psyches and other such bollocks, and far too little time giving statistical, factual accounts for people like me.

Like "Stuey spent 40% of his time playing Gin, winning an average 60% return, and only 23.3% in poker, with an average return of 30-45%."?
