Just finishing up reading Charles Dickens' "Hard Times" - very good book, though it's commentary is much more social/political than it is philosophical. Plato's "The Republic" is an excellent book on philosophy.

Last book I read was The Tipping point by malcom gladwell... Read it about 2 months ago. It was alright. More about business and trends then anything.. My mother wanted to read it and she said it bored the shit outta her so she didn't finish it. Not a long book though at all.

 This got me through some really tough times. Not considered a traditional philosophy book, but if you look at the big picture after reading this, you can tell how relevant this is to life. Nah but on the real, this is a dope book.  Highly suggested. Peace.
