Lol, thanks. Yeah, it might make some sense to me. :) My logic teacher was good, but I think he cared more about random sidestories than anything!! XD Hahaha. But yeah, logic translations and stuff were fun...I guess it's cause I like puzzles and stuff. ^^ But yeah, thanks~ Perhaps someday I'll try it out!
Yeah, it's difficult, but I do find the end results to be rewarding! In fact, I'll probably wrestle with this book for years, always finding new things I missed on earlier readings (I've found out some time ago that you're never really finished with a philosophy book, and you're always referred to other works as well).
Actually, if you've taken a logic class, some of what Wittgenstein is talking about in here would be fairly clear to you. It really does help to have a working knowledge of formal logic when tackling this book, so it sounds like you'd be all set on that front! The next step would be to grasp his philosophy, which, at first, isn't the easiest thing to do. But if you press on, the thoughts become clear over time. Once you grasp the logic, the philosophy makes more sense.
And on a side note, I salute your logical mind. I don't know too many people who actually like messing around with backwards E's and upside-down A's. Ah, the joys of logic.

Woah. And you read this? It sounds confusing, lol. ^^; Not exactly and easy bedtime reading...but it does sound interesting. I love logic. I had a logic class last semester, and I enjoyed it~ My mind is a logical one, so yeah! Thanks for telling us about this. Confusing and difficult, yet enlightening.
