It's sad that learning from books doesn't work like osmosis.

If the amount of books i've bought would equate with the number of books I've read I probably would be a more rounded coder...

Is it common to have atleast 5 times the amount of unread coding books in comparison to the read ones?

There are surely lots of Java books bought by students who drop out after the first semester...
