Before spending your hard earned $ try looking in your local library. I was surprised to find mine had a few poker strategy books available. "Killer poker online 2" is the last one I checked out and I've renewed it several times already; there is just so much to absorb.
There is a pretty good note taking section in the book. IDK how many ppl actively take notes but its very helpful to me

Almost every decent poker book is available as a free PDF somewhere. It's just a matter of looking. 😉triplesyxx said:
I'd recommend David Sklansky's work, as well as some strategy books by top pros such as Dan Harrington's Harrington or Hold 'Em, or Gus Hansen's Every Hand Revealed. More importantly though, be sure to not just take the advice at face value -- analyze the why of every move described, then choose the style you're most comfortable with and try and blend the advice into your own strategy.
i agree cooking im not to much for actual book reading but for some reason i can find myself sitting around reading forums... just recently ive been joining in on the discusiions all though im far from PRO... but it all comes down to experiences
I also recommend the Harrington on Holdem series if you are interested in tournament poker. They are a little old now, but the information in them is still really valuable.
Specifically, the 3rd book in the series is a "workbook" full of real hands that happened between pro's in big tournaments. The book presents many hands as a series of multiple choice questions on every street (What would you do here -- A,B,C or D)
In the next paragraph Harrington tells you what the person actually did in real life, then which option he thinks is the right one, and goes in depth explaining the reasoning behind each choice.
Reading that book and getting into Dan Harrington's head (along with other multiple big-name-pro's) was such a great learning experience. It helped me to see the big picture more clearly and got me thinking about Tournament poker on an entirely new level.
