      Yes. You clearly don't give a crap about anything or anyone.

      Thanks for sharing your massive insight.

      Aren't you up past your bedtime?

        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

            I said 'reading for entertainment'.

            Surely you don't read coding standards for entertainment?

            Who knows? I am not wise in the ways of cavies.

              Currently A Man on the Moon by Andrew Chaikin; also dipping into What a Word! by A. P. Herbert now and again for light relief.

              Recently finished: Strange Days Indeed by Francis Wheen; Fermat's Last Theorem by Simon Singh; Strange Angel by George Pendle; and Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis, all of which (except Wheen) I'd had sitting on the "unread" shelf for ages.

              Next up: re-read of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon; re-read of Where Are the Customers' Yachts? by Fred Schwed Jr.; finish The Periodic Table by Primo Levi; and start The Wrong Boy by Willy Russell.

              There's also a clutch of iPhone, Cocoa, and Objective C books littering the side of my chair, and I really must have a proper look through Algorithms in a Nutshell at some point.
