Mine: Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder
- iamdave 19y agoOn Man and the Universe - Aristotle. (Relevance other than stamping "Ask YC" to the front of it? Just curious)
- bayareaguy 19y agoI just noticed the "inspiring sci-fi", "insipid sci-fi" and "fantasy book" threads recently added here.
- marcus 19y agoKarma whoring galore
- trevelyan 19y agoUmberto Eco - The Name of the Rose
- marcus 19y agoThus Spoke Zarathustra - Nietzsche
- dottertrotter 19y agoPaulo Coelho - The Alchemist
- ichverstehe 19y agoAlbert Camus - The Fall All-time favourite. Heck, the fact that my all-time fav band is named after the same novel doesn't hurt.
- ghiotion 19y ago"The Brothers Karamazov" - Fyodor Dostoevsky. Perhaps the very first existentialist novel ever written. Dostoevsky was an existentialist before anyone knew what existentialism was.
