Or even better research all the bug experts who named bugs they discovered after family members and say how come all these people got bugs named after 'em but all I got was a book dedication? :-)

I learned in Grad School that having something valuable to say about a book you didn't read is essential. The easiest way to do that is to read the index, the table of contents and some random pages to find out what you can contribute to a discussion about the book if it ever comes up. If you applied that to your dad's book, you'd have all your bases covered. As in he probably doesn't have an issue if you didn't read it entirely, but would be hurt if you didn't even look at it.

Yea, just a mere mortal here that thought it'd be funny to say even a post without comments is better than Elon's braindead troll farm...
