What's the page number for this in _V._? Sorry if I missed
it before, just coming down off my last final and I've been
skimming the list mail lightly.

A pity, I've never had more fun doing philosophy than when
reading the _Investigations_. Yelps of amazement and joy,
I swear!
If the real thing is too weighty (the enormous section
about private languages is tough and needlessly confusing during
a first reading), try William H. Brenner's _W.'s Philosophical
Investigations_. It's an excellent overview of W.'s overall
argument(s) in the _Investigations_, plus it ties the material
together with much of W.'s other works.
