      If you like this, you might also enjoy William Poundstone's book Labyrinths of Reason. I found Labyrinths of Reason a ton of fun, and it introduced me to a lot of interesting ideas.

      (Edit: At first I thought this book and Poundstone's book had a lot more overlap in their contents than they seem to on further reflection, which makes me more confident in my recommendation.)

      I bought Labyrinths of Reason many years ago, and I still love dipping into it every now and then. I always seem to find something new in it (one benefit of a failing memory)

      Labyrinths of Reason: Paradox, Puzzles, and the Frailty of Knowledge by William Poundstone
