I've browsed Pump Up Your Rating by Axel Smith.

It looks good. It's not based on one big idea, but lots of little ones. It's about getting serious and organized in your chess ambitions.

Smith has results to back up his ideas:

There is a reason I have a strong opinion of how to practise chess: I started training seriously only as an adult and hence know which methods worked for me and which didn't. The first year after I started to practise methodically, in 2006 when I was 20 years old, I improved from Elo 2093 to 2205. The second year brought me up to 2458.

Perhaps I'll get back to this book more seriously.

Well I say if you're going to do something, take your time and do it really well.

Some nice books there. I just acquired Moskalenko's Pirc-Modern two weeks ago. The old RHM Press book on the Najdorf is a treasure.

This photo was taken a year ago.  I should take a more recent one, since I've added a few titles since then.
