Occasionally I read books, but mostly technical ones: on programming specifically. I can't rate them and don't even track them because it's really reference information: "such things exist", "you can do this in that way", "before doing this you should also do that", "if you do this, you can also consider doing those things", "if you do that, you get this; if you do this, you get that", etc. I have a guess that it's not really productive for me to read books for technical knowledge, since I tend to forget 90% of information I read, and even of those remaining 10% I'm not sure if I can apply at least a quarter in commercial programming. Considering this, my another guess is that a good article can actually replace a book on a specific topic. Of course we can talk about complete and fragmentary knowledge, but I already admitted that I don't remember anything. So maybe for me it's just show off: "look at me, I read useful technical books, not those useless filler fiction books that other people read". Perhaps it's because I haven't yet found a book that has turned over my perception of programming so much that I couldn't program the way I did before. I doubt I ever will
Besides technical books, I may read pseudo-useful social/psychological books, but if I forget 90% of the information from technical books, I forget 99% from those. I can only say that my favourite book from what I read so far is "The Culture Map", because it makes sense not only in the context of differences in people from different countries, but also in people around you.
