Hey,
I've discovered an interest in literature/philosophy in the past, sort of the more thoughtful side of the book world. I'm currently 17 years old & want to study philosophy later.
I have read several works such as The Trial, The Metamorphosis, Letters to my Father, The Judgement, The Steppenwolf, The Alchemist, Siddhartha, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera and The Prophet by Gibran. As no one in my family shares this interest & mine is seen as "weird", I can't hope to be underestimated in any way.I've also bought an introductory book to Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" & am currently working on it. I want to soak up all the knowledge I can and I'm also prepared to deal with it, draw my own conclusions and understand it – because that's THE HAPPINESS for me 🙂 I have now read the "classics" and want to move beyond them because I am literally addicted to all these views, insights & quotes which I love to mark, write down & clarify for my understanding and then incorporate this newly learnt knowledge into short poems or simple thoughtful writing or let my thoughts flow based on it. It's time consuming but I love it!!!
I would love some interesting recommendations 🙂
Thanks in advance!!!
