# “Devouring Fungus”

I saw a posting on Usenet about a new oddly Devouring book, Fungus” called “The Karla Jennings. The poster described the book as containing interesting and amusing stories about computers.

Always looking out for a new computer book, I rushed out to buy the book. After few calls I found out that the book was not available yet. Fortunately, I found a copy of the book while doing my Christmas shopping.
