Hey pyro, I currently play at FT, nice with the rakeback (be sure to sign up with the rakeback before you sign up at any site.
Pizza man has the poker tracker for cheap, I am trying it out now, love how you can see exactly what hands have done what for you (take a guess which hand has lost me the most money).
Book wise, their are alot of good ones out their now. I personally like the harrington books (although they are geared toward tournys). Most books published by 2+2 are usually pretty good.
