Woooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww! Seven whole books! I am shocked and amazed, as I am sure you all are too. A few of you probably didn't even think that I could read.....and frankly I don't blame you.
Well, there are two book reviews today so I will be more "all over the board" in the next review because I have A LOT to complain about the next book. This one however happened to be one of those books where ya learn stuff so you can be more smarter!
Essentially it is a book about the study of logic. It does a good job delineating classical and modern schools of logic (for classical think Aristotle, for modern think math class). The author Graham Priest promises no formulas or at very least no math greater than basic high school algebra. What Graham failed to think about is how little I payed attention in Algebra. Most of my Algebra II class was spent breaking pencils apart and throwing them across the room at my friend Jeff because I was bored and had no interest in learning it. Sometimes, mainly when I am taking some kind of test that involves math, I regret that decision...however, that feeling passes quickly.
It was a good solid introduction to the major concepts of the study of logic. It was not an easy read by far but I was glad that I did read it. As such, I give the book;
Vroom, Vroom, Vro (2 1/2 "Vroom's" on my motorcycle scale of awesomeness)
Next up (like immediately after this): "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austin
