liftM2 (&&) (< 0.5) (> -0.5)

Someone suggested that this was an example of the reader monad but I
don't get that.

> :i (->)
data (->) a b   -- Defined in GHC.Prim
instance Monad ((->) r) -- Defined in Control.Monad.Instances
instance Functor ((->) r) -- Defined in Control.Monad.Instances
instance Applicative ((->) a) -- Defined in Control.Applicative

That's what I see working here.
