theory and practice is clearly the best book ive read about poker, but i still think that theory of poker is the book that will provide the most for many players and would recommend that above all else.
i still cant think of anything ive ever used from a harrington book, but ive just bought Harrington on cash so we'll see if i pick up anything i dont already 'know'
For non-holdem games, caro was the best, especially for 5cd. Havent read anything truly spectacular on PLO yet

you will make lots of money in cash games if you read both PNL and theory And Practice.

Why did you not like the SC ratings?
I thought you were a tourney Donk drmcboy... those should be pure gold for you.

yes, there are some most important NL concepts mentioned in the book like SPR and REM analysis. This book will help you grow as a poker player IMO.

I think the three are all you need, and maybe HOH if your new. HOH will be very benificial to a beginners game. Once you have played for a bit I think HOH becomes pretty obvious.
As for your list Vrax, I think ToP becomes higher up the list as you move up. I got more from my 3rd reading than I did from the first two.

+1.
I reread the REM section and finally had a chance to read the SPR section over the weekend. Even though I feel I am using REM effectively, I had a recent downswing that was part bad beat/variance, and part terrible and inconsistent use of SPR and target SPR. I highly recommend this book be read and reread until the concepts are burned into your skull (Also this is a reminder to myself since I am not quite there yet).
