Peter Zhdanov: Yet another shocking revelation on behalf of the Chess.com audience! I especially admire the guys who voted "1" since they reminded me of an old joke:

Friends of a Russian billionaire are debating what present to choose for him. It has to be something very special.
- Maybe a book? - asks one of them with hope in his voice
- No - frowns another-  he has a book already!


Natalia Pogonina: Don't be too hard on them, maybe they prefer reading and practicing online.

Peter Zhdanov: Yes, sure. Btw, how many chess books have we got? A hundred? Two? I bet I have read more than you!

Natalia Pogonina: I don't know for certain. Anyway, it's about quality, not quantity.

Peter Zhdanov: Agree. Besides, a lot depends on what we call "read" - flip through the pages, study carefully, or rigorously work through it line by line...

Peter Zhdanov: 28% in the 1st poll, 27% in the 2nd... Maybe we should give people advice what books to try?

Natalia Pogonina: We've got a list I can recommend. Needs to be updated, but is good anyway!
