I'm now reading Sophie's World.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm taking a philosophy course at school. This is another book that goes with. Sophie is dumb, at least to me, but makes brilliant connections. This is like learning with a plot, and should be discussed to really get it.

So far, the drama here is leaving me guessing constantly. The whole thing is either spanning across time, has multiple realities, or is filled with magic. I can't decide.

Unfortunately, my borrowed copy fell apart into 2 pieces yesterday, which surprised the crap out of me. So that was weird. Luckily though, I can still read it.

I think that all the chapters of plot have a secret philosophy meaning, and I'm slowly puzzling them out. For instance, in the last chapter, when she takes a book to the philospher's house across the lake, but the boat has drifted away when she wants to go back, means that once you have knowledge of things, you can go back to being the same person you were before you were enlightened.

So far, it has been awesome, and Dorothea needs to read this (and Ishmael too, for that matter). Thanks.
