I'm looking at my GNU Emacs pocket reference.

I know I can C-x C-b and get a list of buffers, select the one I want 
then hit a CR.

Is there a way I can just step from buffer to buffer without going 
through a list buffers command?

Have a look at cyclebuffer.el, it allows you to bind any key sequence to
functions cycling forward or backwards through the buffer list.

next-buffer is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
It is bound to C-x <right>, <menu-bar> <buffer> <next-buffer>.
(next-buffer)

Switch to the next buffer in cyclic order.

See these links for lots of alternative ways to switch buffers, including
different ways to cycle among them:

Take a look at bubble-buffer.el from http://www.xsteve.at/prg/emacs/
