This "book metric of languages" is a interesting observation.

I would say that the average Perl programmer has a pretty good
collection of books about how to contruct executable line noise.  At
least one of those books would always open on the desk next to the
programmer.

Contrast this with the average Python programmer who probably doesn't
even own a Python book - they don't need them.
