Poker Books suck or "I read the book and lost??????"

Before the Poker Boom hit I played mostly by 'feel' and did well but the game of choice in live Poker Rooms til 2003/4 was FLHE. I got an old beat up yard sale copy of Super System when I was in college (85-89) but used it more as a how to play guide and not a system. Over the years I have probably read every book from Helmuth's stupid "Eagle, Jackal, Mouse" abortion to Harrington's set of encyclopedia's and not one of them teaches "Feel" which is of course what sets the pro level players apart from the rest of us.
I got crushed early playing online until I read Internet Texas Holdem which was the online bible back then. When online FLHE pretty much died because it was full of bots, grinders, and math players in 2006/7 I started reading about online NLHE. Specifically looking at MTT tactics I read anything by anybody. They all pretty much say the same exact things in different words. You just have to pick a book that fits your reading comprehension level. If all you want is a push shove chart you can Google that in ten seconds.
I recommend:
Beginners/Rookies:"Internet Texas Holdem" and running through the Full Tilt Poker Academy. You get the basics, won't look stupid and might win a few with luck.
Intermediate Level: "Super System" and "Harrington on Holdem" and "Poker for Advanced Players". The bibles of poker.
Expert and Specialists: Depends completely on what game you want to play but do not ever buy anything hawked by an unknown with a preface by someone who last FT'd 30 years ago.
Last thing, the pros are pros for a reason and they will not sell you their entire game for twenty bucks. You have to absorb the material and think for yourself.
