To all of you that have been enjoying this section, thanks so much for the emails!
Nov. 4th Weekly Read for all of you faithful readers!
Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder is, I think, one of the most amusing books I've read in my life. This may be because, I admit it, I have an inner geek that struggles to get out every now and then, but this book is really something.
I'm a fan of Gaarder, I must say, and this was my first book from him. And having read it more than 7 times, I can't do any less than recommend it to you. It makes a great way of introducing young minds to such dense subjects that often scare you and them away.
Thanks to the adventures of Sophie Amundsen, the reader learns with her the true meaning of many philosophical teories, from the very beginning of philosophy... call it Plato for Dummies, but it goes beyond that... its an suspense adventure, with a little brain in it.
I wouldn't call it a novel and its not entirely a light read, it has more than 500 pages, depending on the edition, filled with anything you can imagine and you ever wondered about the human study of himself. Is not the regular story, and the end couldn't be any more ... surreal... or amazing.
I recommend you pick it up and give it a bite... read some and chew slowly on it, believe me a lot of things that happen everyday in your life will begin to have some sense or explanation...hehehe.
Hope you give it a chance and enjoy it!
