A mathematician tackles this topsy-turvy religious philosophy.
It’s a collection of 47 short essays that predate the blog-post book fad by three decades.
Smullyan plays with multiple voices, draws from Chinese poets, and utilizes his training as a logician.
His bemused detachment won’t convince a skeptic, but if you’re already digging Taoism then you’ll enjoy this book.

The book brings back memories of summer, visiting my cousin for two weeks, where I came across Smullyan’s Alice in Puzzleland at the Whittier Library.
I should revisit this book to for a deeper dive, but I want to play jump into other subjects first.
