Reassess is based on the concepts introduced in Amateurs Mind so read that first. They're both good books although I prefer my Silman in a digital presentation. Since you're a diamond member, you might want to check out his monster course "Roots of Positional Understanding" or any other of his half dozen courses on Chess Mentor.

It's hard to give personalized advice without at least some sample games. Try playing some games here to give us a good idea of your current playing strength.

These books have plenty of "English," happy reading:)
What a wife! Those are two very good book. Lucky man.
I'd say they are only good books if you are already a decent tournament-level player.
If you're not, they're likely too advanced to be of significant practical use in your play, especially compared to a basic tactics book or a book of basic annotated games.
There's not much point in trying to understand the finer points of N vs B if you can't calculate accurately for more than 4-moves (this is required for pretty much all the lines and examples in those books) which includes seeing all the tactical refutations of the moves you shouldn't be playing.
Great advice everyone. I'm definitely not a tournament player I can't say I'm a phenomenal player either but if it would help I'll definitely post some games of mine on the site so you can see my level of skill if that would be helpful. If anyone would like to play me you can just add me as a friend and maybe we can play a few games even if it was constructive criticism.
I've been playing chess for three months now, fairly decent at it. I've started to understand certain concepts about chess such as calculation and tactics as well as long term strategy and a few opening lines. I guess I could be called an average chess player even though I've played for three months I've studied to the best of my abilities just about every day. My wife the other day bought me two books,

The Amateurs Mind, turning chess misconceptions into chess mastery
Both written by the brilliant Jeremy Silman. What's everyone's opinions about the books? Are they good books? What can I expect to get out of them and which should I read first?
