Me too. �2500 amazon last year. None of them on CF though, except the J2EE
/MX book...

Well the new technologies in MX are

CFC
XML
Web Services
UDFs in 5+
The java underpinnings

So my advice would be to get books on these subjects, rather than a CF book.
Then you'll have a better understanding of the technologies, rather then
just a CF centric view of them.

Again Hals book on cfcs might be worth while too.

here are some of my library I would recommend ...

XML
---------
Professional XML Schemas
XSLT  - Oreilly
XML in a nutshell - Oreilly
xml-fo - good if need to do xml - pdf etc..

Web Services /Soap
--------------------
Programming Web Services with SOAP  - Oreilly
Programming Web Services with XML-RPC (O'Reilly Internet Series)

Java
-----------------------------
 Enterprise JavaBeans - Oreilly
 Java Professional Library (4 books) - Oreilly

 * Building Java Enterprise Applications Volume I: Architecture  -- good but
I wish they hurry and release Vols II and III
 this is good book but I don't recommend it anymore, as Oreilly have told me
that vols 2 and 3 have NO release date

.Net
---------------------------
.NET Framework Essentials - Oreilly
C#

General
----------
Applied Cryptography
Mastering Regular Expressions - Oreilly
The Pragmatic Programmer  --- great book, wish I had it when starting out.
