The rust book is great and I refer to it frequently, but rust never clicked for me until I just jumped in and did the advent of code with it.

I think the hard part of just reading the book is that unless you have some problem you’re trying to solve, it’s hard to get motivated to read it.

It’d be nice if there was a book that’s a bit less dry —- something like Learn You A Haskell or Why’s poignant guide to Ruby.

I would also love to see a book with some whimsy; when I try to emulate this style, it doesn't work. Oh well.
