This is the true winning answer. This book was *so important* to me growing up. Reading it was the first time I realized that programming didn’t have to be utilitarian; it could be expressive. It’s dead but archived here: https://poignant.guide https://twitter.com/mcclure111/status/1246946406608310273 …

Replying to @andy_matuschak
These are excellent websites. However, a book must have strong pagination (at least). 93% developers end up ‘buying’ the dead tree because a reflow-able website cannot match the class of a paginated corpus.

Indeed: I'm frustrated with the lack of object stability in web books too. e.g. https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z6cxCDMXRWBritiSgzs4cdKd737H5U9XLBaFr … I'm not sure that digitized pagination is the only solution, and I'd be interested in seeing other attempts! Don't know of any plausible ones, though.

Running text or scrolling animation lowers attention span. It tires us out just like seeing out of a car window on a highway is.
Turnable books on the other hand offer a kind of pagination where the text is restful for our eyes to feast on.
