Logically Mad
Dec. 3rd, 2011 10:23 pmI have now completed reading the “Logicomix” graphic novel on the search for mathematical truth by Bertrand Russell, and in its narration has breezily discussed some difficult ideas that permeate mathematics,logic and philosophy. A thoroughly good read.
I took advantage of the fact that there was no trains ,on due to engineering works, and took a free bus ride to Faversham and back. I sold some books at Past Sentence, and picked up another cheap charity shop purchase - J. M Coetzee's “Slow Man” novel.
So now it is back to finishing off the Charles Bukowski book “Tales Of Ordinary Madness”. The film version of it , starring Ben Gazarra, was pretty good, but to read the book is better.
