An excellent book on how to play the middlegame, and easier than The Art of Attack

About to order the following but have room for a few more! Especially a good book on tactics if you could please suggest one, I have only ever read Predator At The Chessboard by Farnsworth...
Silman's Complete Endgame Course
Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953 - Bronstein
How To Reassess Your Chess - Silman
Pawn Structure Chess - Soltis
The Inner Game Of Chess - Soltis
I'm pretty bad with tactics (c.1800 on chesstempo) and was thinking of buying The Art Of Attack In Chess by Vukovic but am concerned it is well above my level. Any thoughts from someone who has read this? As an aside, I was also going to add Think Like A Grandmaster by Kotov but I read somewhere that The Inner Game Of Chess by Soltis is quite similar in that it addresses move selection, visualisation and calulation. No harm in getting both maybe or is that overkill?
I've just finished My System and The Amateur's Mind. Nimzowitsch's section on positional play was a bit of a struggle if I'm honest but I really enjoyed The Amateur's Mind by Silman. Other books I've read recently include The Life and Games Mikhail Tal and Chernev's The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played (mentioning this so they don't get suggested).
