I'd like to take a cup of coffee, take out one of those books (not super interested in Oracle TBH but could be some other low level stuffs) and read it through.

OK I know reality is much less appealing than that. But I still prefer paper books than .CHM help files than really online documents.

i have the minix book i am looking to do this with; the last time i read a book in this style was the TCP/IP book (the oversized wide one).
