2-3pm at the Village Square Bookstore. Mathematician/philosopher/logician/magician & author RAYMOND SMULLYAN is the author of many books on recreational mathematics, recreational logic, etc. Most notably, one is titled What is the Name of This Book? Before earning his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1959, his first career was as stage magician. In his new book, Rambles Through My Library, Dr. Smullyan takes you on a tour of selections from his favorite authors. Along the way, he shares his thoughts, commentary, stories, anecdotes, and juicy tidbits about the authors and selections. He may even do a little magic. As Melvin Fitting has said in his introduction of Dr. Smullyan to an audience, "I now introduce Professor Smullyan, who will prove to you that either he doesn't exist or you don't exist, but you won't know which." Come to this informal lecture to find out.
