Raymond Smullyan is my Logician Dumbledore. I own and read every book of his I can get my hands on. Which is well over a dozen.

this book is awesome. i got it from the library when i was about 15 and i loved it, but gave up on most of the problems before i could figure them out. 15 years later i found this book again for cheap, and it has kept me occupied for hours on end. not your typical chess book, in fact all you really need to know are how the pieces move, no strategy. clever stories to go along with fun logic problems, this book is great for all ages.

Smullyan is a true logician. This set of puzzles is a great source of entertainment and amusement, unique to my eyes.
