Are reading books really worth it?
So I have a few books I bought to further my education. When I read the first two I really learned nothing more then what I learned on this forum. So my question is:
Are reading books any better then reading everything on this site? If so which books are they?
I guess its a credit to this site more so than a knock to the books but I don't want to be spending money on books and hours reading them when I can read it on here in a much shorter time and of course for free.

I'd say keep reading both books and these forums. Eventually you will run into a book you will enjoy if you read one every week or two. Then once you find that book you love you can reread it and pick up things you missed.
Have you read "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller?
