Same. Except the books I buy aren’t advanced :)

The books I can see from my couch - Code Complete (McConnell), Transaction Processing (Gray), Algorithms (Cormen), Algorithms (Sedgwick), Starting Strength (Rippetoe), All the 5/3/1 books (Wendler), etc.

I would consider algorithms advanced. I’ve been programming professionally for 8+ years, and haven’t yet found a need to study algorithms. It seems like all the scenarios where I would need some scholarly algorithm knowledge have been abstracted by some library.
