    3. History of Western Philosophy – Bertrand Russell

    4. A Tale of Two Cities – Charles Dickens

    14. The social contract – Jean Jacques Rousseau

    15. The Open Society and its enemies – Karl popper

    1. Thanks OP. A little more info on the books would be great—now or later. For example, I’ve never gotten around to reading Bertrand Russell, and like to hear more about what you liked. Thanks again!♟️

    2. Im ashamed to admit I picked up For Whom the Bell Tolls in September and I’m currently still trying to make my way through it. I really need to get better at accepting some books just aren’t for me.
