> I don't want to work with an engineer who hasn't read anything technical in the last year. Last year I took a year-long sabbatical and went to New Zealand. I spent half of that time offline. During that, I read 4 technical books. I really enjoyed that. Before and after that I don't really have the time to read through a book in a meaningful way. After work my brain is to tired to focus more than a few pages. I still read relevant blog posts that are usually more dense and short so I don't loose focus while reading.
