Never read the TeXbook is see. I have an extra copy. Would you like me to
send it to you? You really only need to read about the first 50 pages and
of those skip the 25 pages or so of example problems.

I found an online version, but (a) I don't have the time to get back
to it (too much change in BLFS to keep up with), and (b) to the

sanely handle UTF-8 (xelatex for preference, although context looks
both interesting and also totally different ;-)
You should read it, if for nothing else but to appreciate genius.
