Personnally I like the jokes and comments in an otherwise dry technical book. One of the things I like about O'Reilly books is that the books have some personality and as well as getting to the point. Theres nothing worse then dredging through a 9000page telephone book that takes 40 pages to tell you what a simple function does, and reads like millitary protocol manual.
