A famously unreadable effort, and one of the few books of which I would say it is much more important to know the arguments than to have read it proper. Unless you're talking about Bertrand Russell's thing.He's the only one I know who even attempted to pretend enjoying this book, and says it's the greatest piece of literature he's read since Principia Mathematica..
