I think my biggest joy in life is getting new computer books (followed in
a close second by getting more computer toys). I can't say that I have too
many books that I don't use all the time (I have a C++ book that I didn't
even bother finishing reading, I tell my self that I will get around to
reading it eventually as C++ is an important thing to know because of all
the PHBs out there who don't know that it sucks).

I have books that I read four years ago that I still use every day. even
the 'Learning' books are useful if they have a good index. 

BTW, How much for the Learning Perl 2nd Edition?
