Self-taught developers, do you explicitly state 'self-taught' on your resume?

On the one hand I can see how it'd generally be inferred by employers from the lack of a degree mention, but in that case do you omit the 'education' section entirely? I'm in a slightly weird position because I'll be applying with an internship on my resume which probably implies that I studied a CS degree to some extent?

I'm wondering if there's any merit to including a brief list of books/courses I've studied (a sort of 'self taught using the following resources' section) - I think I have seen this suggested elsewhere, but I want to get HN's opinion / sanity check.
