OK, gang, this is my virgin post so please be gentle . I've been lurking all summer. While I'm still overwhelmed by the wealth of information and insights I have yet to glean from this marvelous forum, I finally decided just to jump right in. In my introduction I said that I love everything about poker--the cards, the community and the culture. Another thing I love is reading poker fiction and I was wondering if that was true for anyone else too. The following is a list of all the books I currently have in my library. Is there any really marvelous read that I'm missing?
