yes

most text books are crap. I don't know why they make them so difficult to read, when a different style would impart the same information and be easier to read

it's pretty good, actually (especially compared to things like my maths textbook),

but i'm not in the mood.

my quantum mechanics book was exceptional

very well written

heheh

I got a biology textbook Called Living Things. By a guy called Slaughter. So on the spine it says:
'Slaughter Living Things'

I can't remem the work replacing the word things, but you get the idea.

except that it was about

quantum mechanics.

yep

but I thought we were talking about the writing styles :)

i always seem to end off going off a tangent

but they are all textbooks of educational purposes

yes

but that doesn't mean they have to be dull

but it doesn't mean

they have to be not dull

well obviously

because they mostly are. I just don't think learning needs to be a chore, and people would be more inclined to read their assignments if the books weren't so poorly written

i'd imagine though

that the people who know lots about quantum mechanics aren't the sort of people who know lots about writing well.
