How to Read Wittgenstein (How to Read) by Ray Monk

This is a brief introduction to the philosophical work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. In just over 100 pages, the reader is provided with a selected group of passages of Wittgenstein’s written work, with accompanying commentary. Though I still have countless questions about Wittgenstein’s philosophy, this book does provide a good starting point to understand the complicated work of this famous philosopher.
