I think you are totally correct about the luck pushing!

I used the O'Reilly Safari bookshelf thingie to achive that exact aim. I would then buy the best of the technical books after downloading a few chapters of each and skimming the rest of each book online. That worked well for me and cost about $90 a year - the cost of four wrong books, and had enough tokens to probably download four books worth of chapters as PDFs.
