Aaron Schmid’s Reviews > Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy > Status Update

Crazy that this book has so many (50,000,000) copies in print. I know very few people who have ever heard of it. I imagine school teachers must like to use it, perhaps. Still, this is like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, a philosophical novel, a few decades old, and I just cannot help but lament the loss of a culture capable of making this a best seller. The story is thin, so far, but the lessons are nice.
