I think that since there are so many posts about what the best book is, that there should be a sticky on the programming boards where people can post books they have read and write the pro's and con's . Another forum has something like this on their programming board and I thought it helped since its easier to look at a sticky than go search "book" and go through a ton of posts to get the info.... the place I got the idea from is here. Look at the sticky entitled "List (and find) recommended programming books here! ". It works well at that site so I thought maybe we could try it here . Welp, just a suggestion....
