About the book
John Allen Paulos, known for explaining mathematical logic to non-mathematicians, uses jokes, parables, stories and anecdotes to explain analytic logic, its mathematics and its puzzles, and through them some of the basic problems of modern philosophy.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb called it a pleasant, clear refresher in analytical philosophy and good practice for anyone prone to forgetting elementary relationships.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Flaneur)
I found this copy last week at Waterstone in London . It made me feel the plane ride was very short! I should have bought a couple. This is a great book for a refresher in analytical philosophy: pleasant, clear. Great training for people who tend to forget elementary relationships.
I did not know that JAP was a logician. Go buy this book!
The only competition is "Think" by Blackburn (rather boring).
