Yes, I agree. Indeed, books and experiences complement each other. This is so true that books are written from experience and experience is gained from books. And I agree when you say that by experience you can feel the theory. In summary, I think that by experience you learn from YOURSELF, and by reading you learn from the AUTHOR. So, there's nothing better than to complement the knowledge gained from yourself with the knowledge gained from many authors, providing us different point of views.
My conclusion with our discussion is this: knowledge gained from experience and from books are dependent.
