In this episode we bring you Doug McCune's Why I Don't Read Books and Jeff Atwood's views in Programmers Don't Read Books - But You Should.

I believe Doug's experience with technical books is similar to most developers and anyone who has been burned by a Wrox book can attest to the general lack of quality in such books. With the advent of internet and programming support sites like stackoverflow.com, pure coding books might become less relevant but there is always a need to really good, classic books.

Check out Jeff's post for a picture of his bookshelf and links to buy some great software development books.
