Switching books

For round two of the ICND2 I'm going to read Todd Lammle's book install of Odom. He seems to be less wordy and easier to understand. I'm going to read it cover to cover, go through all labs, make sure I can ramble off the syntax of all the commands off the top of my head.

From there I think the big challenge is going to be troubleshooting routing protocols and ip addressing schemes. I want to come as close to acing this for round 2 as possible.

Why not read both?

I already read Odom's book and learned a lot but it's very wordy. I think I might better benefit from a different author to give me a fresh viewpoint.

Todd's books (the main one, the ios guide and the review guide) is all I used for the CCNA (1 test route). I thought they were decent books.
