There must be somewhere here a list of essential poker literature (at least for beginners), but I can't find it... can anyone please point me to the right direction? Please!

Well I have bought 2 already and borrowed third from the friend and they are all complete shite. Well, one had some general advices, like "there is something to learn from every played hand" but that was about it. Total waste of money and time.
That is why I thought there should be some "official" Poker Startegy list somewhere 
Books that helped me:
The poker mindset
Harrington on Cash games
Harrington on Holdem
Practical Poker Math
By Pat Dittmar
I'd highly recommend "The Elements of Poker" by Tommy Angelo.
Generally, I think the forums and videos are better for developing the techncial side of your game but this is a great book for how to think about the game, deal with tilt etc.
I'd really recommend you also check out Veneer's guide the micros which you can find in the forurm: No limit bigstack strategy/no limit strategy discussion.
I found it much more useful than most of the books out there.
