I am a bad reader. Slow, ill-disciplined, with a wandering mind.
I will rarely manage a whole book.
I will rarely manage a whole review of a book.
For those out there like me - and for me - will you please imply your endorsement of a book in the following format?
1. Two-sentence summary —> 2. One-sentence summary —> 3. One-word summary
I'll start, with Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico Philosophicus:
- "If we were to talk about the relation between language and the world - as philosophers would like to - we would have to step outside of language, and so would not be able to talk. So the propositions of philiosophy, this book included, are nonsense."
- "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent."
- "Shhh!"
