It is a good book, but it is a shame that so many pitch it as being a portal into a new and transcendent plane of understanding. Especially with it being a rather difficult read it leads to people trying to get more out of it than was in it to begin with.

To quote one of my professors from back in the day: “Life is short and you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to”




There is also the issue that it takes longer to read than you expect it to, even when taking into account that it will take longer to read than expected... ;)


I'm with you. It's legit good snark; the problem is that it's asymptotically good. :)
