best book?..Mila18 is a beautiful read about the Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw during WW2.

Pokerbook? Supersystem 2 is a clear winner there..though I'd suggest buying pokerplayer magazines and all that sort of thing first..more fun..free games and loads of knowledge tucked into a 2.75£ mag... :)

Poker: Slansky for cash, Harrington for tourneys and supersystem for a bit of everything.

Non poker: the complete works of Oscar Wilde.

Poker wise I'd go for Helmuth "Play Poker like a Pro" a great book to start with and then to revisit as you improve..

Autobiography.. Alex Hailey's Auto bio on Malcolm X

For a deep read The Book of Strangers by Ian Dallas

For fun To Serve Them All My Days by RF Delderfield...about my old school !

Poker Books? I can't recommend any.

Non-Poker Book - try "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. But beware, it will change your life, because you will see so many things in a new & wondrous light.

Haven't you brought your own book out yet tikay? Will try to get around to reading the other one though, i like them sort of mysterious but true books thanks. What would you recommend best for me playing in to get more of an insight and feel for things. Been doing quite a few freerolls and a couple of sit and go's and tried the european feeder freeroll as well and came 100 out of a 1000 which i didn't think was too bad, but want to get learning quick and maybe actually try to make some money at this. lol

Do you live in ireland then? Kind of getting the whole idea of poker but do need some help and advice about where to play and what to play etc. Get all the hands just trying to figure out now how to work out the odds. Need some lessons definately. Anyone available?
