Amen to that. I just counted: considering the book recommendations we've made in this thread, "Sensei" now has to readThe TeXbook: 483 pages (\newcount\allpages\allpages=483) The TeX sources, a. k. a. "TeX, the Programm": 535 pages (\advance\allpages by 535) The LaTeX sources (source2e.pdf): 482 pages (\advance\allpages by 482) The LaTeX Companion, 2nd edition: 1090 pages (\advance\allpages by 1090) hence a total of: \showthe\allpages > 2590. pages to read (and a tag price of about 50 euros, I'd guess, for the TeXbook and the LaTeX Companion). I may have forgotten some other resources we mentioned (I recommended fntguide.pdf at one point, but it's a paltry 25 pages, and it's mostly redundant with the LaTeX sources and the LaTeX Companion).
Thanks for these other books.
