Electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators as artificial muscles Book

This is disgustingly funny. It is up there with Anonymous Lawyer and What We Did On Our Holidays as another book where you can't keep your clothes clean what for sniggering, snorking and spilling as you give up all attempts to read any of those books quietly and with decorum.

The book was supposedly based on Sharpe's alma mater Pembroke College, or the much older Peterhouse both very rich colleges as is the fictional Porterhouse. One hopes that even if those colleges concentrated on gourmand professors eating gourmet food, with plenty of wine and money, that they do a lot better than the academically-undistinguished fictional one. And that the porters are a great deal warmer than the monster that is Skullion.

Five star humour of a very British kind.

Highly recommended for airplane travel where you are sat next to some objectionable person and wish to be distracted from noise, smell or overflowing body flesh.
