hey all, I am in search of a book to gift my bf as he told me he wants to get into reading more (rather than his required books for Uni). I am struggling to find a book that he might like as I typically read thriller/mystery books which are not his style. He studies philosophy and likes for instance David Chalmers, Nietzsche, Camus. I want to give him a fictional book that has some philosophical undertones. I thought of gifting him midnight library because of its interesting premise, but after reading it myself I found it rather shallow. Does anyone have any other recommendations? Bonus points if there is an element of romance
Too Like the Lightening (and the whole Terra Ignota series) by Ada Palmer. It’s an amazing sci-fi series with interesting things to say about ideas of gender, war, and other big topics. The author is also a professor who studies renaissance philosophy and there are SO MANY philosophy references!
