PowerScore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible
* decent book
* gets you looking at CR questions in the right mindset (dissect the question category, how do you approach different questions from different categories)
* working through this book allowed me to get through OG11 CR problems under timed conditions with 88% accuracy

Manhattan Test Prep Critical Reasoning Guide
* just starting to look at this now as for some more fine tuning
* PowerScore doesn't teach diagramming but MHAT does
* seems to be pretty good as well

In general, you want to find strategies that work for you. I believe that you can't go in with a million strategies rather you need to create a hybrid system that works for you and has been tested under timed conditions.

Good luck with your prep material search.
