Sophie's world is a great spring board that introduced me to philosophy

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

David Hume’s ‘It All Happened On the 8:15 From King’s Cross, London to Edinburgh, calling at Cambridge, Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Leeds-upon-Sea, Durham, Durham-A-Priori, Newcastle Glasgow, Back-to-Newcastle, Edinburgh-on-Sea, Edinburgh-A-Fortiori, & Edinburgh’, Penguin Classics. Also Saul Bellow’s ‘The Victim’.

[@robertfranklin8704]

My pick: Les Miserables by Hugo; War a nd Peace, Anna Karenina, and by Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection; The Brothers Karazamov, by Dostoyevsky; Brave New World and Island, by Aldous Huxley, Narziss and Golmund and Siddartha by Hermann Hesse, and Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm.

You already read Steppenwolf by Hesse?

Thank you for the Inspiration. I discovered recently the Russian writer Gaito Gazdanov and through him was able to immerse myself in Russian prerevolutionary life and the hardships of life as an exile, which touched me very much.

Thank you for your recommendations!

Hi, nice video. I enjoyed Caligula by Camus, which I guess isn't a novel. Also, All Men are Mortal by de Beauvoir was fantastic, not very philosophical, but it did at least push its argument to the extreme.

I suggest readings by and about Bertrand Russell. His Problems of Philosophy is short and his History of Western Philosophy is long, but both are worthwhile. About Bertrand Russell may be found in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which also includes links to many topics.

Superb list, I don't know the Polish Author, I'll check that out, otherwise, brilliant list.

Nice and interesting discussion. But what about the novels by Nikos Kazantzakis? From «The Saviors of God» and «Alexis Zorba» to «The Last Temptation» and the «Report to Greco» one can find extremely deep philosophical thoughts. Don't forget also that when Camus received the Nobel Prize (Kazantzakis was nominated nine times) he wrote to Kazantzakis's widow, Helen: “I’ve always admired and, if I may, adored your husband’s work. And I also never forget that the day I was so sad and had to accept honours that Kazantzakis deserved 100 times more than me, I received from him the most generous telegram. Soon I was horrified to notice that this message was written a few days before his death. With his loss, we lost one of the last great artists…” In case you haven't read Kazantzakis yet, I'm sure you'll discover a great writer with a deep and very special philosophical view of the human condition.

I would add Magister Ludi or The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse and Anathem by Neal Stephenson

[@davidgagen9856]

Agree ....The Glass Bead Game is a masterpiece.

[@catherinemcmillan6111]

I'd add some of Matt Haig's novels, especially the Midnight Library

[@djpokeeffe8019]

Six Months in 1977 by Kit McQuinn…😊

[@DrGBhas]

I would like to add Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino and Siddhartha by Herman Hesse to the list.

[@stevenmclaren2730]

I liked Sophie's World.

[@marie-josegauthier5257]

The myth of Sisyphus by Camus.

[@thereadingquest3320]
