I would say about four years all total, but certainly not linearly-- most of it over the past two, as I became more serious about the game.

I'm in South Africa, and with the cost of shipping would rather have 10 great books than take a chance on 20 with no guidance.
I have Sklansky on Poker
Super System
Caro's Tells
Harrington's first book (name escapes me)...
It's always tough to recommend books generally without a bit of background info on the individual. Your current library is ery good, and defiantly on the more advanced side.
How did you find these books with regard to your current experience/skill level? Also, what area of poker are you currently focusing on, limit cash games, NL tournaments? It also depends on what you want from your book-- more Sklansky theory, or a bit of entertainment?
Assuming that you were comfortable with what you have you can always go with a good odds book like Matt Higer's "Texas Hold'em Odds and Probabilities".
Also, some books that might be considered a bit on the "basic" side are nice to have for somewhat easier reading, and to tough base with concepts that you know but are good to have a refresher in. Phil Gordon's "Little" series comes to mind. You can read these a break from the "study" you really need to put into a Sklansky book.
Also, for a lot of the same reason I recommend most of the books in the Biography section-- some like Richard Spark's books and the Pat Walsh book are really really funny. Books like "Making of a Poker Player" by Matros are good if you like your lessons mixed in with a bit of story.
I enjoyed all of the fiction books listed as well.
I guess it's too hard to pick-- that's why I got them all !!
