I have recently begun reading, and consequently fallen in love with, Khalil Gibran's The Prophet. It's mind-blowing stuff, and I was wondering if anybody can recommend some titles along those lines that I might enjoy. It's really helping me out with my overall take on life.

Along those lines, maybe not. But I never hesitate to recommend Dan Millman's "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" to anyone who wants to open their mind to the limitless possibilities of human experience.

There're some good titles on the subject by A.C. Grayling. I mean some paperbacks published by Phoenix, London.

Sartre is a good read for mixing his philosophy with fiction, like the Myth of Sisyphus.

I found The consolation of Philosophy by Alain De Botton or indeed any other book by him to be spot on advice.

A NOVEL ABOUT THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR AN OVERVIEW. I SUGGEST " SOPHIE'S WORLD" BY JOSTEIN GAARDER
