That's the trouble. I spend so much time sorting them I rarely have any to read them

I have read a few though. I'm studying ActionScript 3.0 Bible (Wiley, 2008) at the moment.

If you're in the BCS you get Books24x7 which justifies the subscription on its own (if you don't mind the stigma of being in the club
