Thanks for link, Letsgochamp.
I'm looking at the book now and it does look simple; stuff I've already covered.
I've completeed Chess9000 tactics, end game studies, puzzles on there, and saw chapter 1-2 of 'My System' - SeanG Godley (now Telemachus Wolf). I really enjoyed his videos.
Strategy/Middle game books:
Pachman's Complete Chess Strategy series (three volumes, English Descriptive notation though, but worth it)
Silman's Reassess Your Chess
Kotov's Think Like a Grandmaster
Stean's Simple Chess
Baburin's Winning Pawn Structures
Neishtadt's Test Your Tactical Ability
Endgame books:
Silman's Endgame Course
Shereshevsky's Endgame Strategy
Capablanca's Best Chess Endings
Fine's Basic Chess Endings
Smyslov's Endgame Virtuoso
Other gems:
Alekhine's My Best Games (three volumes)
Bronstein's Zurich Book
Tal vs Botvinnik 1960
Fischer's 60 Memorable Games
Don't just read the books, study them. Grab a board and go over the moves and variations. I must confess I have yet to study some of the books listed above.
Don't bother with deep opening study until you reach, say, 1800-2000 elo. Watson's Mastering the Chess Openings will be sufficient for now.
Be critical of what you study. Don't mindlessly copy moves and ideas.
PM me for pdf-links in case you have trouble finding the books.

Sorry, I had to delete the link on #6. Please do NOT port links to pirate material. French laws are not so kind. Thank you F_D89 for doing this in private.
I miss "The Test of Time" from Garry Kasparov... ;-)
A great book i'm reading and studying is The Amateur's mind by Jeremy Silman
Does anybody have a database for Reassess your Chess 4th edition? I decided I'm going to go read that. I found that using a database for Amateur's Mind allowed me to go through the book in a few days---way faster; easier.
Hans Kmoch - Pawn power in chess is very good for learning
about weak squares, pawn structures and bad bishop, bad knight
etc...
Tartakower - My best games of chess.
I love tartacower style, his books are very instructive!
David Lemoir - How to Become a Deadly Chess Tactician
Very interesting this one too!
Kotov books about tactic are interesting too!
Simon Webb - Chess for tigers
