Light Reading

No man can, of course, subsist only on the hell that is the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, so I decided to cut myself some slack and do some fun reading for engineers. I'd been meaning to read this for some time, and last month I'm waiting at a bus stop, and there sitting on a rickety table outside a used bookstore and next to a "All Books Outside $1" handwritten sign is, The Measure of All Things. Reading books is a great excuse for being unemployed.
