it was boring as hell, so i barely read it.
but theres probably books out there that are more entertaining.
i've seen some that are like "learn game programming in C++"
that might be more interesting.

Yeah, I agree. Most general programming books are indeed boring as hell. The game and graphics programming books are much more fun to read because not only do they focus on what you're interested in programming, but it usually does have a little bit of humor on the side. Either way a programming book is a programming book. Mine are mostly on games (I have books that cover every version of DirectX, lol I'm old) but I do have a few that are on general purpose stuff.
Speaking of general purpose programming, I need to start learning how to program for linux again. I'm a spoiled MSVC coder
N.S. Kutti wrote a good book on C programming for Unix, but I need to find that book again and actually buy it because I just rented it from the library.
