I go through the love/"why am I spending my time learning an obscure language" kind of relationship. :) If you want to buy books, good ones are: http://www.forth.com/Content/Handbook/Handbook.html http://www.forth.com/Content/fat/fat.html You can get PDF versions if you download the trial version of Swift Forth.
