View original postBoth as a young adult and a more adult-like person, I've always been a fan of plucky thirteen-year-old heroines figuring it out. I went into Sophie's World with the assumption that there would be a similarly appealing heroine, mixed in with some interesting philosophy, and was rather disappointed on both accounts.
That one has fewer aspirations to being an alternative HS philosophy textbook, and more to actually being a good story (though still with a good bit of philosophy in it). I enjoyed several other Gaarder works, like Through a Glass Darkly, when I actually was a teenager, but not sure if they would hold up on a reread as well.
Recommend me a good book with a philosophical theme?

Sophie's World really didn't do it for me.

Sartre is excellent in some ways but he is like Edward Gibbon in one way...
