I've just recently started trying to find books and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I'm not looking for developer stuff just administration.

I started reading this one,

What is Websphere? but I don't really like it; the writing style isn't that great and it's just a broad overview of the Websphere line.

I have ordered this book but haven't received it yet.

IBM has this recommended reading list page. But most are ibm red books and I'm not a big fan of those.

Any suggestions for more reading?

Too bad your not a redbooks fan, because there's one in that list that you absolutely HAVE to have if you want to get the best performance from LSF 9.

Get it, read it, sleep with it under your pillow...

I'll give it a shot.
