Subject: Best way to slurp a file into a string?

All,

I would like to capture the entire contents of a file in to a string (a 
la Perl) - is this the best way to do it?

File.open(@document.path, r) do |f|
  @lines = f.readlines
  html = @lines.join
end

so that the html variable has all of the contents of f.

Is there a better/easier way?

Thanks,
Wes
