On my third reading of my paperback copy, it began to fall apart. The book got lighter as I progressed because I recycled the pages I had finished. I identified with the author's emotional struggles and admired his dedication as a father and motorcycle mechanic. The author draws parallels between different aspects of the machine and how we can better understand our lives and surroundings.

My cousin recommended this book to me and loaned me her copy. I enjoyed following the adventures and challenges of the young brothers as they try to find their mother who abandoned them years before.

I like grammar and I like philosophy, so I was excited to read this book. I was expecting the development of a set of grammar rules specific to philosophy which would facilitate communication between students of different philosophies. From what I understand, Wittgenstein never prepared these writings for publication; they are a collection of his notes The first part consisted of very in-depth speculation about how we perceive and understand our surroundings and how we communicate. The second part was so filled with unfamiliar logic symbols I did not want to continue.
