i feel like i understand the philosophical investigations much more than the tractatus. i can read each section and follow it from what i've read - whereas the tractatus i found very confusing. i'll have to go back and try again though, i haven't read the tractatus as a whole in about four years.

Bad temper and extreme nervous tension were endemic in the family. One day, when Paul was practicing at one of the seven grand pianos in their winter home, the Palais Wittgenstein, he leaped up and shouted at his brother Ludwig in the room next door, “I cannot play when you are in the house, as I feel your skepticism seeping towards me from under the door!”

I like this idea of Wittgenstein as a great judge of what you should read
