I've read the Ada 83 and Ada 95 LRMs.  I learned Ada from the Ada 83
LRM, but certainly consider the Ada 95 LRM a "nightmare".

I've also read the C standard and find it quite readable.  The major
problem with it, though, is that it never seems to contains answers to
any of the questions I consult it for.
