Is this a good technique for reading programming and technical books as well?
- tapan_k 10y agoI have the same question. I recently read a programming book on Go [1] and this book reminded me of the pleasure of reading a programming book cover to cover. For a reader whose purpose is not to just get through the coursework (as in a graduate school), a well written programming book can be as pleasurable a read (if not more) than the most gripping novel. The author's style of writing has a lot to do with the readability of a programming book. I think.

- magic_beans 10y agoIt sounds like you had the good fortune of reading a well-written book. Any well-written book, regardless of subject matter, will be a pleasure to read cover to cover.
