[LRUG] "The Ruby Programming Language" book by Matz

[Xin]

I like Ruby Programming my Matz. It's heavy to carry around, sure, but the
API section is definitely useful. I often find myself browsing through it
just to get away from the laptop for a few minutes.

I haven't read the book by David Flanagan and Matsumoto.
