Philosophy

If you're ever interested in a quick overview of western philosophy, you should read Sophie's World. It's pretty good at summing things up about what (for example) Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle thought. It goes through the ages, starting with them, then continues on. I don't agree with some of the assumptions that the author has put in his book, but in general it explains things very well. =) It's even better when you don't have to write notes on it, hehe. ;)
