As someone said, we normally avoid these "Me, too!" responses, but:
Yeah: Me too!

:)

My copy looks somewhat as though a truck had skidded over it (. . .
some kind of strange rubber-burn looking skidmark across the front
cover, not sure how it happened . . . . . anyway . . . :))

Anyway I had to comment because I totally remember that "this is
the best programming language book I've ever read" feeling.  I even
announced it to cow-orkers, and paraded the book around the office
held up and accompanied by a huge mischievous grin. . .  (don't think
any of them has looked into Ruby yet, but, . . . . at least they 
know they ought to, now, . . .heh.)

Me too!
