An enjoyable read. I don't know why, but I always like your rants.

I agree, SE is retarded. I've taken dumps that have more relevance to coding than SE.

Consider yourself fortunate to at least have the second edition. I bought the first edition at full-price about five years ago. It presently sits at the bottom (I mean, the very bottom) of the massive stack of books in my room.
No shit. I'm talking, *below* "Thinking in Java" by Eckel, which I also haven't cracked in 3+ years.

warren: I had always assumed Eckel's book would be good, probably just from name recognition. Then again, I do strongly disagree with his outlook on checked exceptions as always being bad. I suppose I should refrain from buying Eckel books, then?

Don't take me that seriously. I believe Eckel to be one of the best /tutors/ of Java in print today. But at least the TiJ books are certainly below your level.
