Logical thinking and reasoning were never my strongest areas. I would like to put some effort in sharpening these skills.
Could anyone recommend books, websites, or any other good resource with logic puzzles (English prefereably). Or perhaps introduce me to alternative strategies/methods, that I may not even have heard about? Thanks :)
What kind of logic puzzles are you looking for? I mean, sudoku is a logic puzzle, but when I think of logic puzzles, I think of things more like Einstein's Puzzle.

Of course, debugging is a logic puzzle, too. ;)
@ichabod - you pointed out good examples of logic puzzles I am interested in. I know about sudokus and also Einstein's puzzle. There may however be a "new" sort of puzzles (perhaps less widely known), which I would he happy to know about. Or another thing, as I have noted, some resource for good puzzles, maybe a book or website with one or several kind of logic puzzles, with their difficulties increasing as reader progresses etc.

@Larz - I have been moderately active on Project Euler, and will surely invest more effort in it, thanks.
I am partial to kakuro (number crossword puzzle): http://kakuro.cc/M22-10-2008-kakuro.aspx (online)

When I want a book of puzzles I usually just go to the grocery store. They usually have them in the magazine area. YMMV.
