I have found a lot of business and technical books that I haven't read. By technical, I mean books more on the design and architectural side. I get most of the more detail-oriented technical books at my workplace. That makes more sense, since a book on .NET, Ajax or Java could be read by many people inside the company.<br/> <br/>I also use the local libraries quite often. They have good business books, but the technical books are usually outdated. I also borrow books from my friends, clients and acquaintances.<br/> <br/>Finally, once in a while, I buy books, like, for example, Code Complete. It is expensive, but some books are that good. Buying specialized technical books are less useful, since they become outdated very quickly. Kalpesh, Bookswim is definitely worth it.
