Agree, disagree, agree. :)

Everyone should read some David Hume. I love his sort of "philosophy is just philosophy, you can't necessarily live your life by it" approach! Although being the sceptic he is I suppose he needs it or he'd have walked off a cliff.

mqarcus:
Nothing wrong with Nietzsche, his books has helped me through rough times.

Scytale:
I think Nietzsche's works are amazing, especially Zarathusta and Beyond Good and Evil. They definately changed my life.

I'd reccomend reading Jean Paul Satre's Nausea.

A less existential reccomendation would be Neil Gaiman's American Gods, which I read over christmas and thoroughly enjoyed.

Utopian:
Nietzsche is very interesting, yes, but David Hume is my favourite philosopher.

Sythe:

--- Quote from: Switchblade on 21 Oct 2005, 00:32 ---My own particular book recommendation Is "Ilium" by Dan Simmons, and its sequel, "Olympos".

--- End quote ---

I actually just picked up both books on the merit of Dan Simmons' Hyperion trilogy.

Speaking of which, Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, and Endymion were all kickass reads.

Simmons has a neat style of storytelling in which the threads of the story don't come together as much as branch out. At times, its difficult to put the book down and come back to it a few days later, as every few pages the narrative can jump hundreds of lightyears.

Edit: Whattheshit, I knew the OP was old, but damn.
