Not that anyone should care what I think about anything, but I have read a lot of Poker books, and I thought I would at least give my opinion in how useful I've found the books so far. All ratings are out of 5 stars.
Small Stakes Hold'em (Sklansky, Malmuth, and Miller): *****
No-Limit Hold'em, Theory and Practice (Sklansky and Miller): *****
Theory of Poker (David Sklansky): *****
Harrington on Hold'em Volume 2: *****
Harrington on Hold'em Volume 3: ****
Harrington on Hold'em Volume 1: ****
Super System 2 (except for the Hold'em Sections): ****
Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players (Sklansky and Malmuth): ****
Kill Phil (Rodman and Nelson): ***
Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players (Sklansky, Malmuth, and Zee): ***
High-Low Split Poker for Advanced Players (Ray Zee): ***
Winning Low Limit Hold'em (Lee Jones): ***
Caro's Book of Tells: ***
Super System I: ** (but only because it's outdated, although the Stud section is still quite relevant)
Championship No-Limit and Pot-Limit Hold'em (Cloutier and McEvoy): **
Tournament Poker for Advanced Players (Sklansky): ** (mostly because Harrington and Kill Phil are better tournament books)
Psychology of Poker: *
Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold'em: *
Play Poker Like the Pros (Hellmuth): *

Nice, would be nice to have a mini review of each book, like pro's and con's of each. I like how one of phil's books is the lowest ranked :D

I'll see what I can do. Originally, one of my friends was supposed to help me build a website for my articles along with site and book reviews, but he's a super flake.

I disagree on the Cloutier/McEvoy, but that's part of the fun of doing a book rating is everyone has a different style and has different tastes. I have the Ken Warren book. It was pretty good when I was first learning, but there are so many better books out there that I agree it's not that great. He has a lot of good charts and stuff, but that's about it.
