I have a very big weakness for computer books... I buy computer books just because. Looking around just my desk I have 13 computer books, most of them being PHP and C++ books (haven't even opened most of the C++ books). I have a load more around my room and through out my house. I was just courious to know how many computer books other members have?
I have about 40, but I bought each one for a specific purpose, not just because I like computer books 🙂
I have a bout 15-20 all of which were bought for a specific purpose and most I will still use... 🙂
100+ until two years ago
nowadays i try to get as many ebooks as possible instead of paperback of the books i want. read them on pc/pda 🙂
some books when bought as paperback come with their ebooks as well, those are the best. get both 🙂
12 here at work, goodness knows how many at home. Some I use, some I don't...

If they're readable it wouldn't bother me, tho I guess India is a little far away..

Readable, well yes, all the part that is not rat-ified is readable. not little far far away. its just next door, half way around the globe. and we are in a cosmos which is so-many lightyears long.

you can't put those pages down on your desk and thumb through them while you are coding your page. True, ALT-Tab works fine, but sometimes it's nice having a book right there to look at. It's also handy for looking something up when you are <gasp!> not sitting in front of a computer...
