The Picture Metaphor / Theory of meaning is really quite vivid and titilating though. Here is an excerpt-- it's an exciting string of claims which peaks with an important semi-conclusion:
2.063 The total reality is the world.
2.1 We make to ourselves pictures of the world.
2.11 The picture presents facts to us in logical space, the existence and non-existence of logical facts.
2.12 The picture is a model of reality.
2.13 To the objects correspond in the picture the elements of the picture.
2.131 The elements of the picture stand, in the picture, for the objects.
2.14 The picture consists in the fact that its elements are combined with one another in a definite way.
2.141 The picture is a fact.
2.15 That the elements of the picture are combined with on another in a definite way, represents that the things are so combined with one another. This connexion of the elements of the picture is call its structure, and the possibilty of this structure is called the form of representation of the picture.
2.151 The form of representation is the possibility that the things are combined with one another as are the elements of the picture.
2.1511 Thus the picture is linked with reality; it reaches up to it.

Anyway, if any of you are interested in logic, the philosophy of logic, the philosophy of language, or any of the like you'd probably find the Tractatus to be an enjoyable read. The gist of the book seems like it could be grasped even though there is a bit of arcane looking symbolism interspersed in some sections (mostly symbolic logic).
So, what books are you reading right now if any?
One problem I notice that I have with books is picking up and trying to read several books at the same time (broad minded + lack of focus/wandering attention); and often it ends up with me putting them all down and starting another one which I may or may not end up finishing. 
Is this a problem for anyone else?
Just because they don't agree with our viewpoints doesn't mean they haven't considered them, just as the fact that we're pro-choice doesn't mean that we haven't considered the merits of the pro-life stance as well.
Could do basic yoga on my own. But I'm working into advanced practices, so I need a guide/monitor.
Thanks for listening to me vent.
