One other important point- Read what you can understand. "How do I know if I can understand it?", check out the list. Mr. Gok has done a superb job of splitting the books up into the proper categories. Books like Art of Attack and How to Reassess Your Chess aren't going to help 1300's or 1400's all that much.

Are you refering to Vukovic - 'The Art of Attack in Chess'? Too hard for those with under 1500 RHP ratings to understand all of it, but those under would certainly not be doing themselves any harm in reading it. Quality book!
