Guest Deleted Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hmm. I found out something interesting today. According to what Larry put at the beginning of "The Yii Book", I must be a very uncommon reader. He said this: "This is the 24th book that I've written, and of the many things I've learned in that time, a reliable fact is this: readers rarely read the introduction." I read that and was like "....WHA?! REALLY?!" because whenever I start a new book, I usually read the introduction. If I don't read the intro, it usually bothers me until I do, lol. So now I'm curious: Does anybody else here read intros or am I the only one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Larry 428 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm curious, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deleted Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hehe if I am I won't be surprised xD And I don't even know why I read intros. A lot of the time, they turn out to be completely unnecessary. Yet I still feel like I have to read them lol In fact, I think the most exciting thing about starting a new book is reading the intro! So rest assured, Larry, your intros get read by at least one person Oh and haha I fell asleep earlier and I had a dream about the Yii book intro and you had written this in it: "I write these intros for the few people who read them. BUTTERCREAM I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!" And I was like "WTF?! Why am I in a Larry book?" Weird dream xD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
