What should I read to become better at logic and problem-solving?

I'm starting with "How to Make Our Ideas Clear by Charles S. Peirce"

These, right? I'll read them next as I've read a lot of Aristotle's stuff but none of these. Have you read them yourself?

the pragmatic maxim is useful for clarifying metaphysical/philosophical issues but it won't make you better at "logic and problem solving."
it's very difficult train "problem solving" in general because all problems are so different. problems are not solved using logical or predetermined methods. you don't become good at problem solving, you become good at solving particular kinds of problems.
