Chapter Seventeen: Sophie's World

So I decided to class it up a bit and re-read Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder, translated into English from Norwegian.  It's either a novel masquerading as a history of philosophy or a history of philosophy masquerading as a novel... it's hard to tell which, but that's not a bad thing!  I felt like I was learning something as I read (even if I've already forgotten most of the philosophy mentioned!) and there was enough plot interspersed with the philosophy lessons to hold my interest.  Things do get rather funky, plot-wise, toward the very end of the book, so I found it a bit hard to follow right at the end, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
