Poker players and competitive poker spectators tend to be pretty different from book worms. If you\u2019re a poker player or spectator, chances are your reading list is mostly comprised of online content such as Ignition\u2019s poker cheat sheet, 10 rules for every poker player<\/a>. Literature lovers, on the other hand, often read physical books like \u201cWuthering Heights<\/a>\u201d and \u201cMrs. Dalloway<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately there is at least one instance where these worlds collide: novels about poker. As long as readers understand the basics of poker, they can appreciate the game as a plot device, symbol or insight into character development. For poker players and spectators, these novels celebrate the game while providing a healthy break from screens and tables.<\/p>\n

To keep the list manageable and be respectful of your time, we selected the literal best of the best, the highest-rated novels from Goodreads\u2019 list of best poker novels<\/a>. Of these 34 entries, here are the five you should start with.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. \u2018Showing Up<\/a>\u2019<\/h3><\/div>
by Brett Kinsler<\/div><\/div>

At The Rauch Review, we love highlighting hidden gems. \u201cShowing Up\u201d hasn\u2019t been a big commercial hit, but it has extraordinarily high ratings. One reviewer wrote<\/a>, \u201cThe witty banter is reminiscent of many a true poker game that will trigger fond memories for any reader who has sat around a table with a group of friends.\u201d Beyond poker, the story has themes of grief, aging parents and romance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. \u2018Bluff<\/a>\u2019<\/h3><\/div>
by Jane Stanton Hitchcock<\/a><\/div><\/div>

On the more popular end of the spectrum, we have this bestselling novel about a woman who uses her passion for poker as a tool for revenge. Fans of crime noir thrillers should also enjoy this title. As if the ratings weren\u2019t enough of a sure bet, \u201cBluff\u201d won the 2019 Dashiell Hammett Award for Literary Excellence in Crime Writing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

by Tyler Nals<\/div><\/div>

This novel combines tournament scenes, an odd setting and real poker advice interspersed with whacky stories off the table. It\u2019s rare for a novel to actually teach poker lessons, so don\u2019t forget about this hidden gem.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

by Greg Winick<\/div><\/div>

Three kids grow up in the same New Jersey town, their lives woven together by poker, the mob and abuse. One reviewer described<\/a> the novel as \u201cThe Sopranos<\/a>\u201d meets \u201cRounders<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cClarity & Connection\u201d is at the top of my list to recommend to people when it comes to understanding their conscious and subconscious minds. Yung Pueblo<\/a> prompts his self-exploration narrative in poetry style, pushing readers to examine their past and learn how to be at peace with it to grow into a new version of themselves. \u201cClarity and Connection\u201d is the second book in Pueblo’s \u201cInward\u201d series, focusing on heightening self-awareness and creating healthier patterns in your romantic partnerships.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
