，
OK， I only got 1/3 of the way into this fascinating book before I was completely overwhelmed by the mathematics （and I mean just the simplified stuff in the text， not even the fuller accounts in the appendices）。 However， the account of Godel's background in the Austro-Hungarian Empire， with the Vienna Circle etc。 is captivating， with lots of telling pen-portraits of Godel's contemporaries， such as Wittgenstein。 This is a wonderful book， and one I will return to when I feel more courageous。 OK， I only got 1/3 of the way into this fascinating book before I was completely overwhelmed by the mathematics （and I mean just the simplified stuff in the text， not even the fuller accounts in the appendices）。 However， the account of Godel's background in the Austro-Hungarian Empire， with the Vienna Circle etc。 is captivating， with lots of telling pen-portraits of Godel's contemporaries， such as Wittgenstein。 This is a wonderful book， and one I will return to when I feel more courageous。 。。。more
