There are tons of strategy books out there now. I have a shortlist of the books I would recommend to any new poker player, and even a few experienced players.

Introduction To Probability Theory - Charles Grinstead
David Sklansky - Theory Of Poker
Harrington On Hold'em (Volume 1; Strategic Play) - Dan Harrington
Harrington On Hold'em (Volume 2; The Endgame) - Dan Harrington
The Mathematics Of Gambling - Edward O. Thorpe

Notice a few of those aren't exactly "strategy" books, but the information they contain has been a huge value to my play. I think having a grasp on probability theory is a must for anybody that takes poker seriously.

Ask yourself the following questions:

If I flip a coin once, does the outcome affect the odds of my next coinflip?

If you answer yes, you must read the book. If you answer no, you should still read the book.
