After those two books, I've ordered a new book today. Cost a whopping £40! That's the price of being self-taught, I guess...

Here it is...An Intro to Massively Parallel programming.

Only a chapter in, but so far it's been good. I still do not think I could sit through that hipster looking movie though.

Tractatus is difficult to read and also, wrong, so there's not even much reward for the reader who perseveres! You're better off with Philosophical Investigations, but still, I'm impressed. How come you're reading Wittgenstein?

I just finished this, after putting it on hiatus while travelling because I didn't want my copy to get destroyed:



I took Christopher Isherwood's Goodbye to Berlin away with me, but from page 75 it went to page 105, then later on it skipped back to page 75. 30 pages missing in my only holiday reading By the time I got back it was just over a month since I bought it and Waterstone's would only do an exchange for their unreadable book, so I got a book about Iraq's marsh arabs in the 1950s that I later found out could have got for peanuts off Amazon.

Here is a picture of the lovely cover of my doomed book:



Goodbye to Berlin was quite good until I got to the missing pages, but now I have such negative associations for Isherwood that I don't think I'll ever be able to read another book of his! I hate you Vintage!

I don't know what I'm going to read next. Tempted to just go for another Joe Sacco graphic novel, I can pretend it's 'research' because he writes about modern wars.

Hey Sssh,

Happen to buy the short introduction to Wittgenstein (which covers early and later works of the author) and found similarities between our thought patterns when reading about the TLP. Sooo, decided to take the plunge and read the whole thing. Currently up to idea 4.0.

Thanks for your kind words btw.

HiD

Hey!
Have you heard this one?
