Agreed. I suspect that most uses of python decorators become moot with proper multi-line anonymous functions. I assume some would argue that decorators create more readable code but they seemed like a syntax hack to me.

Introduction to Logic: And to the Methodology of Deductive Sciences, by Alfred Tarski. One of my favorite math books, which convinced to pursue an undergrad in math. Being an intro logic book it's completeley self-contained and may not not even feel like a math book, but yet a great intro into foundational stuff.
