I think neuro kid's point is that he WASN'T in a neurology program last year. He was doing that painful prelim year. Personally, I pretty much stuck to UptoDate as well.
My program gave us a small "curriculum" pocket-book, and I am reading that first (plus a few review articles). I'll leave the dense texts for after I have the practical stuff down better.

Sorry, I did misunderstand his/her post, but I wasn't exaggerating our reading assignments. In fact, the reading was only a small portion of the program. Our didactics were as follows: morning report with our chairman (lots of pimping and localization exercises) Monday and Tuesday from 7-8, then some type of clinical lecture from 8-9, Wednesdays from 7-9 Bradley test and review, Thursdays 7-8 neuroradiology and Fridays 7-8 neurosurgery grand rounds, 8-8:30 neurology case reports (we took turns and each had to do them 2-3 times per year), 8:30-9:30 guest speaker. It seemed like torture at the time but looking back, it really wasn't that bad.
I've recently been using a book by R. T. Ross for review and study. It's not a textbook, but it is very concise and well put together. That's why I chose it. It has been very helpful for me so far. It's "How to Examine the Nervous System." ISBN 0-8385-3852-5. HTH
