Could anyone recommend a good introductory logic book? Something between a textbook and Logic for Dummies. Not too many funny mathematical symbols please.
I've been doing logic puzzles since I was a kid - think I inherited it from my mom. (I like Dell logic puzzles - not the computer company) But I get lost in the more complicated puzzles that ask me to figure out how my third cousin is also my aunt, grandmother, and identical twin. (and Sweden wasn't involved)
I dropped out of a logic class in college because it looked too much like math. I wanted a fuzzy philosophy course where I could BS my way through - Logic 101 wasn't the answer.
