The content looks quite interesting for a mathematician too—so I'm sorry that the advertising needs to be antagonising.
But even Keep the Aspidistra Flying was basically mutilated by circumstance [1] and it's still a great book. So, I'll take the insults towards mathematicians with humour and actually read some of it—I often switch between grumpy rigour to applicative speed. We all need to earn an income.
