I have a massive (seems like countably infinite) backlog
of books that I haven't gotten around to reading, so in
moments of mind-death I can pick through the mountain, find
an interesting book, and start reading. Many of those books
are technical in some sense, so it's not too far-fetched to
expect that I'll find an interesting problem
somewhere in whatever tome I pick up, which leads to
coding.
I highly recommend trolling through used and
remainder/overstock book stores. You can usually find some
good books for very low prices (around here, they seem to
be mostly Dover math books for around CDN $5).
