……各种计算机科学主题的“信息洪流”（fire-hose）。但这套纯“论文集”形式的书，让你更容易把焦点放在狭窄得多的领域上。如果要挑不实用但好玩的，你或许可以从《Selected Papers on Fun and Games》入手。此外他还有像《Surreal Numbers》这样的书，通篇以一对夫妇发现数学记号并推导出整套系统的故事形式写成……

……最优秀的作者之一，写作显然深植于高德纳的基因里——即便他身兼数职（数学家、程序员、计算机科学家、教师），一切的核心依然是写作。（他的《Selected Papers on Fun and Games》收录了他在高中和大学写的一些东西，甚至连那些文章都能看出他的精气神。）在我看来，他的每一页读起来都是一种享受。我觉得那些不以为然的人，问题可能在于他写得……
…one of the finest writers, and writing is clearly in Knuth's DNA — even among the many hats he has worn (mathematician, programmer, computer scientist, teacher), at heart of everything is writing. (His Selected Papers on Fun and Games includes some stuff he wrote in high school and college; even those show his spirit.) IMO, every page of his is a delight to read. I think the issue for those who find it otherwise may be that he writes…
