“@jlockett02 @shermanranch1 By reading this book, though, I retrospectively find "Don Quixote" even more brilliant. (And it was already one of my faves) | I am so glad I read it. It's my favorite piece of classical literature that I've ever read. | I read Don Quixote as a child and then, reread many times as an Adult,. And he’s my favorite character. | In other news: No one prepared me for the second book of Don Quixote. I was not expecting a novel from the early 17th century to start employing selfreflexivity. This book reads like it it was written by a timetraveler.”

Consider The Republic by Plato. Recommended by 13 sources.
“Plato stages an extended Socratic conversation that moves from concrete questions about justice into broad proposals about an ideal city, the structure of the soul, and what counts as reality and knowledge. Reading alternates brisk question-and-answer snippets with long, cumulative demonstrations that reward careful attention and annotation. Main value: a wealth of thought experiments for testing political and ethical intuitions. Main limitation: repetitive refutations, long policy sketches and dense metaphysical passages can feel abstruse and slow; patience and some philosophical background help.”
