Topology by John G. Hocking & Gail S. Young is Cancer

I'm not a mathematics snob, but how the fuck can anyone stand the janky awkward introduction to topology that passes for it in this book? It's unbearably awful to read, and that's not getting into how unbearable I find explaining topologies at first using limit points instead of using the equivalent, but more natural, open sets. The book has all the charm of reading used toilet paper (or something equally awful for people who are into that, I guess).
Just keep shoveling that shit down your gullets, mathematicians!

I just wanted to brush up on some definitions I haven't used in a while and got it on my phone to read. Whoo boy, big mistake!
