Hah. I'm sure there are many that would find it boring, but I find it
much more readable than, say, the Knuth books. It's all relative, I
suppose. I found it interesting because at the time I was reading it it
helped me solve some practical problems I was having without resorting
to kludges and client-side programming.

Jeff Davis
