I'm wondering the same. Of you look at the books being listed in this thread, though, it's apparent there is little fiction or other material to truly savour: everything is skim-friendly.

You could probably get through one of these a week while on the elliptical or during your commute.

I wish people would qualify their posts with relationship status and employment type. If you have a partner whom you value, and are in the formative months (pre-alpha) of a start-up as a main developer (or hybrid, or one-man operation), is it really beneficial for so much new information to be making its way into your head?

gotta disagree here... there's really no skim-friendly material. everything requires involved thought and active, critical reading.

edit: also this is the first time i've ever heard marx or chomsky described as "skim friendly"
