[Brian Beakley · Rating 4 out of 5]

When I ended a four-year relationship with a woman, I sat in my office and did every problem in the book through about Chapter 10. Cheaper than therapy.

[for-much-deliberation ...]

I got through a few chapters but I think I will explore this again sometime in the future...

Not exactly a cracking good read, but an approachable and clear guide to the use of set theory in linguistics.
