The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder
5.0

I've read "Sophie's World" and found it a lovely book to get you into philosophy and all that. This one though is a bit more subtle in all the philosophy it has, yet it does talk about philosophy. I do hate to repeat things said about a book, but this is definitively an "Alice in Wonderland" kind of book meant for adults or young people that want to do a little thinking and not just zone out when reading (but it is not the tedious kind of thinking, but the very engaging kind).
I kept wanting to dog ear the pages (the book is from the library so I had to resist the temptation) or underline phrases (things I don't usually DO with my books!), and lots of bits stuck to me and are still there in my mind.
Very recommendable :)
