Why is that so hard to believe? People read 260 page books all the time.
I'm not going to read this one, but only because it's not my area of interest. I'm busy reading 100+ page books on other subjects.
- defrost 3y agoTake that as a tongue in cheek comment - I've read such things with close attention, I was studying measure theory back in the 1980s when I first met the author of this work here in Australia. There is a subset of people on HN that do read and enjoy mathematical texts, they appear outnumbered by a larger group that seem to post and comment on anything Terence Tao without seeming to be that deep in the actual math, which is fine, but it has struck me as a HN trend of late.
