Glad you asked that question RenataV and thanks MicroMachina for the feedback on this subject. I need to read some good literature on poker myself. Don't get me wrong! I've learned a lot from BRM and the Mobsters. Good Luck to All!
Posted by RenataV: Hi peoples, i want to buy some poker books, but i don't know which books. Please let me know, best poker books. Thanks.
Depending on which kind of poker you are playing. Tournament (long or short) or Cash (big or short stack)? PL, NL, Omaha, ...? All those books that some users has mentioned are great but quite generic. Are u searching for something more specific?

Google has the best threads on poker...... but we must always take into account that what may work for one may not work for you. The best advice read all you want too but play your style and your game the way you want too. 70% Skill 30% luck......
If you just google around a bit you can find all of these books in "e-book" form. So you don't have to waste money on books that you don't like (what you only know after you red them).
Also I wouldn't really advise to read these books, they almost all tell the same and it takes to much time to read them. Just browse a little and search for some videos of people analysing their game, it only takes at max an hour per video and you get a good insight on how "good" pokerplayers think and react.
on the other hand good luck taking your game to the next level !!
ps: if you're gonna read a book, read Slanksy because it's a lot of math theory, all the other books are to old and the styles don't work anymore in the modern poker circuit.

A good thing to do so also is to check your game of history and see how you played a hand and what went wrong. Books will tell you how the writers think and play their hands but its not easy adapting to a different play style
