For some reason I find reading tech books a repelling activity. I'd rather spend longer hours googling SO issues, GH/GL tickets, reading blogs than reading a well recommended book on the topic.

But then again.. What is the difference between a series of blog posts and a book...? Not much of it. At least I cannot come up with how blog posts would be superior to a structured and many times reviewed book :) Many posts are lame or just skim through the topic. The same holds true with books too. So maybe it's worth getting that 200pages thin book instead..

After reading many articles on functional programming related to C++. I have found the articles to be severely lacking and tend to highlight platitudes rather than substance. Where I am currently working through a book on the subject that explains the why much more thoroughly.

Personally I prefer books almost every time. If you take the time to handpick the reading (admittedly time consuming) then you’ll be able to resolve the issue of wasting time reading a wide variety of articles that don’t teach you more than the one use case they focus on.
