Good advice! I have to start taking formal logic classes for my philosophy major this upcoming semester. Looking forward to it, but I'm sure a head start is never a bad idea
The Philosopher's Toolkit is a great starting point for such things. Many logical fallacies, etc outlined. The book is written by Baggini and Fosl, published by wiley-blackwell.
