If you're soul searching, I recommend skimming several technical books before devoting yourself fully to one. And then just pick the one that most excites your curiosity. The process of deciding what to learn next is a type of skill that you can learn. And potentially it's valuable to learn that skill if you feel bored. The risk of just picking a book and committing to it is that it may not be the right book for you, or the subject for you right now, or any number of other things. Anyway it's worked for me; your mileage is likely to vary :)
