Not much here. Kind of cute, as if Feynman was into Taoism. I liked some of his logic-wordplay, I'm interested in reading something else of his maybe. (

It was fairly entertaining, but I cannot say I learned much about taoism... (

This book isn't really about taoism. It's about Raymond Smullyan. Page after page.

If you want to know about taoism, there are better books. If you want to read about Raymond Smullyan, this is the book you need. (

Warm, friendly book free from the pretention or mystical foggy-headedness typical to books about eastern philosophy. It does not try to impress with insight, but entertain and illuminate. (
