A buddy (who just played WSOP) recently stated to me he had read Phil  Gordon or Daniel Negreanu (how wasn't sure) saying they were still able  to play well with 30 BB.  He translated that to small ball poker is a  fine strategy when you have 30 BB left in a tourney.  Uh, no.  Negreanu  is not playing small ball with 30 BB.  Confusion by not keeping what he's reading straight.

I would recommend you choose to play either tourney or cash for the next several months while you are reading.  It can get confusing keeping strategies separated and end up costing you money.  Also stick with one author (Gordon or Harrington at this point) or you are going to conflicting ideas, such as ace rag is worth big bonus points vs it doesn't matter at all if they are suited.  That will be decision you can make but you don't need a bunch of virtual coaches contradicting each other while you are trying to learn.
Be ready to digest what you read, aka read between the lines, aka meditate or thoughtfully consider what you are reading.

As stated by the wise and venerable  Poker Orifice, "I'd recommend Phil Gordon's Little Green Book.
 
Then, if you're playing NLHE tournaments, read Harrington On HoldEm series (1 & 2)."

These will at least get you up to par with what the other readers at your tables are covering.
