Well, the only way to get better is to play more often.  If you're trying to improve your overall game, then more experience is going to do just that.  You can read books on how advanced cash-games or advanced tournaments strategy, but until you can actually put what you have learned into action, just knowing it wont do you much good.  You cant just know the how, but also the why.  A play in a book might sound silly to you because from your thinking, it doesnt make sense but at the same time it might be a very profitable play in the long run, but maybe not immediately.  So, dont just read the books but actually study and learn what is being taught.  And then imply that new knowledge into your games.  Also, dont try reading through the book like its a novel.  Once you've gotten passed the introduction and the basic 'how to play the game' section and onto the really good stuff, take your time.  Read a chapter and understand it.  Know how to apply it in situations.  If you dont understand it, remember it, or whatever.  Re-read it as many times as you need do.  It might take you a while to finish, but just reading and not understanding what you've just read or how to apply it isn't going to be much help.

As for reading books, Barnes and Nobles is great.  I haven purchased a book in a while but I go there a few hours a day and study up on a chapter or two.  They usually have a decent selection to choose from, like HOH.
