Structured learning is great, but I think you're over estimating the power of books. Especially in a domain like reverse engineering. The moment a book is published it's out of date. What worked yesterday doesn't work tomorrow. I never suggested people learn entirely on their own. I learned in a loosely structured way by reading thousands of forum posts, asking questions on forums, sitting in IRC channels talking to people, etc.
