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

    ‘The Name of the Rose’. Umberto Eco was a deeply intellectual guy- professor of philosophy and semiotics etc. The book is a metatextual puzzle as well as being a whodunit mystery.
