Well, then Peter you will have to take your hate off quite a few times.
For many folks K&R was virtually the only book on the topic at the time
they were learning C.  In fact, as far as I am concerned, if you know
how to program in another language K&R should be sufficient.

Besides, it is the BIBLE!  Genuflect before opening it.
