Apparently the ladder hit you on the head....nashark said:You're right on. Wittgenstein is where I'm at. But I arrived there without him.
There's no need to read him to understand the verification principle, or to know that the correct method in philosophy is to say nothing except what can be said (I paraphrase from Logico).

I'm one of the few not talking in riddles by actually writing something of substance rather than just naming famous philosophers.
But you're right, the sensible thing to do would be to take your recommendation and read a two millenia old text written by an old Greek bloke about something which doesn't even exist. Fucking hell mate, at least you've got a sense of humour.

Not in any particular order:
1. Sophie's World (all philosophies explained in a novel)
2. The "Very Short Introduction: ..." series of books by Oxford University Press (pretty well all the titles have a philosophical bent, and cover all sorts of topics - "Nothing", "Reality" and "The Scientific Revolution" being just three examples; just select the topics that interest you, check the reviews and buy new (about £5 each) or second-hand (they are very sturdily put together)).
3. Check out the "In Our Time" Radio 4 podcasts. I was going to post about the latest one ("Epicureanism"), which was fascinating.
Trust me; I've been down this road very recently!
