You should decide what YOU are lacking, and then find a book or two which seems might fill that gap. From the books you mentioned which you have, you can't be lacking too much if you have studied them thoroughly. If what you are lacking e.g. is a tangible way of improving, or something more fun, then get a book or two which accomodates that. Otherwise, look again at what you have and use those. The same might hapen with new books, if you don't focus on what you exactly need NOW (and don't have). A good example to help with what I mentioned above might be "multiple choice" as well as that book written on similar lines which give 5 (I think) completely different mentalities/personalities (with names, something like Risky Bob, profound Fred, Steady Eddy, careful Carol, devious Dave). These multiple choice type things make it much more tangible to grasp what's going on, as well as forcing the author of the book to seriously explain why certain things are NOT the right ideas. Every time I go buying books, I have such grand ideas as to how they will help me, only to be once again entangled in everyday life, after I get home, and forget about what it meant to me to have those books. Good luck! S.Taylor
