I might get that CSS ebook.

I personally never read any books, i just find tutorials and keep using the knowledge over and over again in a short period of time.

anything by O'Riely, theres millions of vid tutorials you can find too. sometimes seeing how things are done visually can be a great help.

Most modern history textbooks I've ever used were pretty shitty. I had a really good introduction to economics textbook, however. It was green. Though, from then on I went on my own. Most of these books taught me infinitely more. Also, Ron Paul's book isn't out yet, and some I haven't been able to find for sale.

edit: Also, the Bull bible:

* Why do our headaches persist after taking a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a 50-cent aspirin?
* Why does recalling the Ten Commandments reduce our tendency to lie, even when we couldn't possibly be caught?
* Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save twenty-five cents on a can of soup?
* Why do we go back for second helpings at the unlimited buffet, even when our stomachs are already full?
* And how did we ever start spending $4.15 on a cup of coffee when, just a few years ago, we used to pay less than a dollar?

....i would recommend this to anyone interested in making $

Pretty much all Trump books say the same thing, but if you were going to buy one then this would be it. It'll get you off yer ass.
