Faroresama I volunteer at my library, sorting books, and I always get excited to see Sophie's World come around. It's been popular lately. I ALWAYS look at books on the job. Sometimes I have the nice supervisor, and sometimes I get the workaholic one, who won't let me read the jacket of a book. That happened when I found God and the New Physics. aw! i work at my local library, too! but everybody there encourages me to slack off whee when i volunteered there, i think i made the workers look bad... xd they're so loose around there...it's insane o_O you can do ten minutes of work in an entire hour and they'll be like "good job! here's your paycheck!" eek

Sorry if I'm nitpicking, but shouldn't The Tao of Pooh be in the fiction section instead of the non-fiction section? Also, the author of Sophie's World and Through a Glass, Darkly is Jostein Gaarder (I think you spelled it wrong...) Yes, I suppose I am nitpicking. xd

Oo, ok, I'll fix it. Whoever recommended Tao of Pooh said it was nonfiction. I don't think it's a story, it's probably more of an analysis. You'd have to ask or find out.
I'll fix the name.

Well Winnie the Pooh is in the Tao of Pooh, and sad as it is, Winnie the Pooh does not actually exist. xp

Heh, I suggested Tao of Pooh. I haven't really read it yet but my sister was assigned to read it for school and said it was non-fiction. -shrugs-

I'm not so sure if this counts a philosophy book, it deals with a futuristic overpowered government and mass sterility. Society is set up into a number of strict classes, and its pretty scary. I found it really riveting. It's the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.

Veriss I'm not so sure if this counts a philosophy book, it deals with a futuristic overpowered government and mass sterility. Society is set up into a number of strict classes, and its pretty scary. I found it really riveting. It's the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I read that! for my term paper! and i wrote about how making sure the bill of rights is dead enables total gov't control... doesn't seem like a philosophy book, per se, but it seems like something that great philosophical discussion could come out of...if ya know what i mean... and...welcome! 3nodding blaugh glad to have you here! EDIT: w00t...444th post in the guild... blaugh

Cool. I'll add it.
I like those kinds of stories. I read this one short story....I can't remember what it was called or who it was by, but it was about how in the future, everyone is literally made equal to others so that no one feels bad. Strong people have to wear weights so they don't run faster than the slowest person or something like that, and this one kid ends up becoming really strong and tries to become emperor or something...If anyone can tell me the name of that story, it will be much appreciated.

Has anyone ever read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman? How about Abarat by Clive Barker?
