77. Bruce Duffy - The World As I Found It


A huge book, mainly I guess a fictionalised (although this seems controversial among the critics) biography of Wittgenstein.

Pretty enormous in scope, it covers a lot of Bertrand Russell and George Moore, as well as Wittgenstein's very dysfunctional family in Vienna. Although it was hard work to read, it was also paradoxically very readable and beautifully written.

Will re-read, possibly in central Europe in a month's time.
