Day 23 – A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t

30

Sophie's WorldSophie’s World by Jostein Gaardner. This one was easy. It is a book I’ve wanted to read since I was a teenager. I was 11 when it came out in Swedish and I think my desire to read it stems from the hype around it then. Philosophy really interests me, and that interest has grown over the years, yet I still never get around to reading the book. One day I will though.

The idea of presenting the philosophical thoughts to a young girl appeals to my need to get things in story form. I also like that a girl is the main character.

  1. I got this for my 14th bday from a Norwegian friend: I loved it at the time! :) I need to reread it to see if it stands up as an adult.

  3. This is one I've really wanted to read, too! The same things that intrigue you about it intrigue me as well.
