Life In 19x19

I have the same problem - too many books, which really isn't a problem...not having enought time to get through them is the problem, but I'm definitely set for the next couple of years, with regards to tsumego/tesuji.

I'm trying to hold off on reading the Changho series until I'm closer to 1k, especially since I already have plenty of books until then.

And I just added Cho U's Tsumego (way above my level, but picked up based on recommendations here) and Segoe's Tesuji Dictionary (based on recommendations elsewhere) to my collection. Plenty of books all the way up the ladder.

Greetings.

I hope that you don't think that I am troll, but I belive that "What's your rating?" of Kiseido (The Ishi Press) is a interesting reading. It has tsumegos of fuseki and yose.
If you buy it like DVD in Kiseido Digital, you get "All About Thickness".

I have Gokyo Shumyo and it is a good collection of tsumegos. Get strong at Tesuji and 1001 Life and Death Problems, I can't finish. I find they tedious and they wait me with bookmark to continue.

Robert, is Tactical Reading a book, or a technique (i.e. I can't find a book by that name).

With captital letters, it is this book:

With lower case letters, it is the tactical kind of reading and one of the, IMO, three major kinds of reading (tactical, dynamic, strategic reading).

It is not a technique. Tactical reading is a part of go theory consisting of concepts, methods and techniques, applying principles and requiring, of course, its practical performance.
