Sophie's World

Still reading, I am. I started with a long book series, of which I'll write more in near future, when a friend of mine asked me if I can borrow him my Kindle to see whether it is something he wants or not. But I wanted something in exchange, something to read while I am separated from the book series I was reading. I borrowed a book I should have read in high school but I haven't - Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder.

It is a book that offers great introduction into Philosophy science and offers young mind new perspectives of how to look at the world around us through a great adventure of a teenage girl. It is a great reading that just drags you in and pushes you to read more and more. It's not a short novel but it encourages you to finish it as soon as possible.

I can't say I learned much new, but it was a great wrap up of what I have already known in a completely different tone. The book gives you challenges and riddles to solve while you are reading. It's a great way to inspire a reader to continue reading to see if he solved them properly and to see weather one agrees with the solution presented in a book.

If you haven't yet touched the Philosophy and would like a gentle intro, than this is the book for you. It gives a great chronological progress and development of Philosophical science through time, from its beginnings to the modern time.
