"Mathematical Logic" by Joseph R. Shoenfield

I started reading this book an Amazon, and I can't stop. Has anyone else read it? Is there some reason I haven't seen anyone recommend it? -because it's absolutely amazing so far.

I guess I'll start writing reviews then. (I had to check-) my username is atheriasangel, but I'll probably change it to honestrosewater. It says I wrote two reviews but one is "private" for some reason. I really should delete them- they're very bad.

Do you write reviews? If so, what name?
