I don't care much for reading reference books, and when I do, it's generally shallow, pop-science type, like _The Science of Discworld_ (Pratchett, Stewart, Cohen), or _The Cartoon History of the Universe_ (Larry Gonick), or _Chaos: the Making of a Science_ (Gleick). I do have some more serious (and mostly unread) stuff including many collections of Asimov essays, and a two collections of Martin Gardner's. And one of these days I'll get my hands on a cheap copy of _The Art of Computer Programming_.... Hmmm what all have I left out? Oh yeah, Diana Wynne Jones' _Tough Guide to Fantasyland_. --KG
