Fascinating book - "Sophie's World" - I am reading it to my wife - we are taking it in bite sized [View all]

pieces. Anyone here read it/are familiar with it?

It is essentially a run through the history of philosophy, but wrapped in somewhat of a drama, using a teen age Norwegian girl as the lead. I am finding that reading it now is really provocative, trying to figure out why we are here (trump and his impacts), but also trying to put where we are as a race in context in history (just a small problem, I know!)
