in reply to Book Ranking

Looking at the many usenet posts like "Which book should I buy" etc. a book ranking sounds like a very good idea.
But would such a ranking be helpfull to the buyer or newbie? Books are different, and so are the needs of Perl users.
So if we introduce some book ranking, it should be better than the stuff we allready find at the net. Well the best thing we can do is writting more reviews, and trying to encourage newbies to write reviews as well. I want to know from the newbies which book gave them a hard time and which one was easy to understand.

    You guessed my 'hidden' agenda!

    the best thing we can do is writting more reviews
    On my www.sdragons.com I keep a bibliography of Perl books I've acquired—mostly to stop me from buying a book I already own! It is not always current, at the moment I need to add 3 more. Any way, I'd like to see reviews for all of them, the more the better.
