Thanks for those,
I bet all those books are going to tell us is everything you will find here. Actually this site will probably tell us more and (from my experience) all you really need is this site and following the advice from those that gone before us and showed us how to do it.
But you can never have too many resources.

I have the Accelerated Distance Learning book by Brad Voeller. He is amazing and a real eye opener. He shows you so many different ways to save money on college. And he gives some great pointers along the way ie. memorization, speed reading, time management. And he also answers a lot of common questions people may have on more effective and efficient means of getting your degree, versus the well-trodden road of traditional education.
