Anyone recommend a decent poker book?

MT4

I'm off to Vegas next month and can't wait to get there (I'm already packed!). However I want to sort out some light reading for the flights. I've got Victoria Coren's book already and my mate lent me 'One To A Million' by Tim Cole which is supposed to be really funny and set at the WSOP. Beyond these two though I'm struggling, especially for fiction, as I think I've read all the autobiographies out there already! Any recommendations?

Sorry, only want to hear about fiction as my head won't take any more poker theory!!!

Im enjoying the mental game of poker, its a great read so far.

The Vicky Coren one was an enjoyable read...

If you haven't already thumbed through these, this Devilfish one was amusing... although mostly reads like a low-rent 70s stand-up comedian's script for a live show in large parts:

And of course a bit more poker heavy is the Gus Hansen every hand revealed book which is a surprisingly easy and entertaining read:

I should probably read more strategy than story, but there are so many great poker stories to read that I need a new bookshelf!

Have to go with Gus' book for pure interesting + ease of reading. It's not heavy going at all. I've read it so many times (it's my 'bog book').

I'm looking for a fiction book not non-ficiton as I've read all the best non-fiction out there on poker! I just need a light read like Tim Cole's 'One To A Million' which is a fun read and set at the WSOP in Vegas.

I have this on eBook although I have just found a direct link to it.  It's release price was around $1,500 and was written by Cole South and Tri Nguyen. 

If you would like the ebook drop me a PM with your email address and I'll send it to you.
