I completely empathize man; I'm a bibliophile. Knowledge
is empowering, and there's no greater feeling of
empowerment for inquisitive people than acquiring new
knowledge, imo. My only trouble is that I have a
tendency to read only the
"interesting" parts of a book. I
actually very rarely read a book front->back, but
then again, a lot of technical books have chapters
better suited for a JITKA (JIT knowledge acquisition)
reference.
