If you really like to read one, then torrent some. To sample them or whatnot. Online.poker change its pace and style so fast that books cannot keep up with it most of the time, so my advice would be to buy a good HUD software license instead, that way at least dont wasting money while searching for where are the leaks in your game. And going to other popular card forums helps too. Where they have a nice amount of regulars with good ROI percentage answering in a wide range of topics. Half of the forum regulars here still stuck at the freerolls playing three hours for 20c.

I used to agree with the whole HUD stuff - i no longer play with it, BUT it is good like you say for retrospective leak fixing. In play i find it way more distracting than helpful.
