Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

2001-09-23 An astonishingly good book

McGinn has written a startlingly clear book which focuses on the main themes in the Philosophical Investigations. It does not cover all the text of the PI. It concentrates on those sections which, once mastered, will enable the reader to tackle Wittgenstein and the secondary literature with confidence. McGinn takes seriously Wittgenstein's description of his own methods, in contrast to other writers such as Kripke and Grayling. They turn Wittgenstein into a system builder, rather than the anti-philosopher he claimed to be. For the first time, Wittgenstein's enterprise makes sense to me in its own terms & I have been stimulated to read more of his works. A MUST for anyone trying to come to terms with Wittgenstein's work.

I add that, to my mind, McGinn has been very wise to keep this book as a guide to reading the PI rather than letting it become her evaluation of Wittgenstein's ideas. The text says it was written to introduce students to the PI. This it does admirably.
