I like this book too! Your aside about "then there should not be a need for this" amuses me, because Schuyler makes that point himself.

I'd say that the first book was not exactly written for a broad audience, and only someone who thinks that dudes are the default would miss that point -- but obliviousness annoys me less than dismissiveness.

I have never actually tried the program, but if I ever did a program, it would be this one.

ETA: And I should add, for those who have not read the book themselves, that this review is great at giving the flavor. I mean, aside from the author's really bad jokes. But they're cheerful isn't-living-heavy-things-fun bad jokes.
