Sure, it's no page turner - but it's a formal treatment,
and sometimes you just have to work through those tomes.
Formal books will never make it to your bedside (except as
a surrogate for sleeping pills ;-)
The reward comes afterwards, maybe after a couple of weeks,
when the stuff "conglomerates" in your brain and leads to
new insights.
