I do wonder about your thoughts on the book. I was a bit disappointed in that it seemed to consist of a lot of excerpts and I'd prefer to read full articles/essays.
I thought it was pretty good, although by necessity limited, as you indicated. There are what -- about a hundred essays in that book? Even though it was limited in scope, I did learn from it. For example, I believe I can now explain Russell's Paradox without embarrassing myself. That alone was worth the price of admission.

You can expect to see some quotes from it in the Notable quotes, excerpts, and profound lines thread in the near future.
