I was thinking in how books get outdated easily. I believe books related to fundamental concepts are useful longer than let's say almost any book on any new technology. For example, pick any book for learning Ionic. Each major release of Ionic was a complete change all the old books are worthless, unless you are maintaining a legacy project which is highly improbable because some modules have become unsupported.
My recommendation is that you should not read books just because. Our time is limited, it is better to read books of theory or books that are widely recommended by the developer community.
I also like reading books about principles or engineering but I would never pick a book for learning a new technology.

That's a great point of view. Thank you for sharing
