I bought a very silly coffee table book.

The beginning was very interesting, but I will admit that I got bored in the middle and jumped to the end.

I'd complain that the bulk of the book was repetitive but that's only true in terms of structure. The content was very varied.

The book "A Million and One Random Digits" by Douglas Crockford
The opening of the book. It's fairly interesting!
The middle of the book is one million random digits. Really!
The bonus digit (Spoiler: it's 0)

@jalefkowit however the spoiler warning is representationally transparent in a questionable way, or maybe two questionable ways

@cwebber gotta congratulate the writer, bc no matter how much you read, it's very hard to predict what's gonna be next

@cwebber kinda disappointed that the ending is just nothing

@devurandom However it's the one digit in the book the author manually produced, so you could say it's nothing of substance!
