Like most other non-scientific fields it's my experience that you should read books around the topic not on the topic.

If you want to be good with UX you don't read books about UX you read books about psychology, typography, color-theory, comics.

If you want to be a good entrepreneur you read about well everything kitsune_ wrote and even non-fiction.
