Books.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on Amazon lately, I want to start a small collection of books. It would mainly be like reference guides and boring technical jargon but it would be nice to get a small collection going. I guess first I would have to find the time to read a book but more importantly I need to find books that I’m interested in, books that I might actually read.

I’ve been wanting to get back into studying for CompTIA certifications for a while such as the A+, Network+, and Security+ exams. I mean, if I have any hope of making it in the career that I’m in without having a fancy 4 year degree I need to work as hard as I can at obtaining other pieces of paper showing that I know what I’m doing.

So I had added a few CompTIA related books to My Wishlist along with some Cisco focused books that I want for work since I think it would be nice to have a good tangible reference around rather then having to look everything up on a PC. After that I got into adding books like Network Warrior and Cisco’s Network Administrators Survival Guide and I even found a WordPress book that I want.

Courtney actually inspired me to look into this. You know, she has so many books that she is actually packing them away in bins for storage. That might be a little extreme but I could only imagine of all of the information and knowledge that could be obtained from just a little reading. I need that.
