The Original:

1) Are there many books that you’ve read that are below 250 ratings? Below 100? Any under 25? Under 10?
2) How did you hear about the most obscure books you read?
3) What are some of your favourite unknown (under 250 ratings) books that you’ve read and why should more people read them?
4) Any other thoughts?
(For example:
Do you think the most popular books you’ve read are usually better than the least popular ones?
Why do you think your least read books are so unknown?
Do you like reading unknown books or popular books better?
Do you want to read more obscure books?)
5) Who do you tag?

BetweenLinesandLife 2018-01-08 | The Questions:

1. Thales is considered the first known philosopher. Which text introduced you to philosophy or which text would you like to read to get you into philosophy?

2. Karl Marx is a political philosopher, turning the world upside down with the Communist Manifesto. Which political event or event in history would you like to read more about in fiction?

3. Jean-Jacques Rousseau highly influenced The Enlightenment, a period which introduced critical thinking to the common people. Which book or author forced you to think more critically?

4. Voltaire once said: " I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" Which is a popular book everyone seems to love but you didn't?

5. Hannah Arendt – Doomed controversial even by her friends, Hannah Arendt did not shy away from telling what she thought was true. Name a book that will leave readers uncomfortable, but tells an important story.

6. “You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.” A wonderful quote from Nietzsche out of "Thus spoke Zarathustra" Which book do you go back to for its beautiful writing?

7. Jean-Paul Sartre raised the question "What is literature?" in one of his books? What is good literature for you?

8. Albert Camus – Which book did you have to keep pushing through because you really wanted to understand it’s meaning?
