Default Poker litterature

Any recommendations ?

I read so far :

-HOH vol 1, 2, 3 tournament play
-HOH cash games, vol 1 and 2 (BTW, my review of it is : vol 1 is so so, vol 2 is pretty good)
-Phil Gordon little green book and little blue book
-The book of bluffs by Matt Lessinger
-The Psychology of poker Alan Shoonmaker
-Mike Caro's book of poker tells
-Readem n' reamp, Joe Navarro (book on poker tells)
-Super system 1 and 2 Doyle Brunson (pretty similar for the holdem part. I did not read the other games though, got bored)
-Theory of poker David Skalansky
-Roy Rounder : Texas Hold'em Secrets
-Sun tzun art of war in poker
-Killer poker and online killer poker John Vorhaus (the first books, they suck btw)
-Kill Phil (a book in how to go all in in different positions with which cards. Not very usefull)
-Ace on the river (Barry Greenstein)
-Championship No-Limit & Pot-Limit Hold'em (T.J. Cloutier & Tom McEvoy)
-Play Poker Like the Pros (Phil Hellmuth)
-Other poker books for beginners like Real poker night


Sometimes I re-read some of those to see if I missed something the first time or if I understand stuff better.

I "need" new material to read so if you got suggestions, I would love them. I'm looking for a bit more advanced concepts on strategies or stuff related to "mind frame". I started mathematics of poker by Bill Chen and it bored me / did not understand his math functions so I dropped it.
Thanks

This might seem a little far fetched, but you could just try playing the game.

WOw that is a lot of books. But I have to agree with Bago, just playing a lot is probably best unless you play very specific formats (SnGs).

How did you not mention that Hellmuth's book is a big steaming turd?

Hansen's new book looks pretty good.

small stakes holdem is the only book ive ever read that's had any impact on my career as a player. it pretty much single handedly turned me into a winner at FR lhe games and from then everything i've learned has been from forums and discussion with other players.

hahaha, yeah, lots of books...

Trust me, I know experience is key. But so far, I have a good winning formula which is playing once a week at the casino and it's been successfull so far.
