@@notreal7169came here to say this too! She is a writer the same stature of Woolf imo, just not as famous bc was Brazilian and wrote in Portuguese. But her whole literature is very philosophical, having a lot of dialogue with Kierkegaard and Hesse.
WE NEED MORE SHORTS. ATTRACT PUBLIC LIKE THIS. YOUR PODCAST IS LIFEALTERING. Thank you for introducing me to the lenses, that allow for clearer vision, yet never close to the imaginary concept of “truth” ❤
Can't believe I'm seeing someone else recommending Lerner's work, especially leaving the Atocha station - truly incredible novel from a young (at the time) author and as a young American who had an extremely similar experience in the same city, it resonated deeply with me.
Just read leaving the Atocha station. At first I hated the main character but come the end I thought it was a beautifully written philosophical novel that explores mental health and substance abuse. The way the main character catastrophes es is so relatable.
I have been listening to a lot of your TH-cam videos for a while now and I even finally understood the Hegelian Dialectic principle through you. Thanks for the recommendations and I love your new Aesthetic series. It is intriguing to me as a Software Engineer because it seems that there is something universal indeed about aesthetics even though beauty, as they say, is subjective, case in point; the various software trends that all apps end up following even though they have extremely different UI teams on every company, which I thought after hearing your explanations, could be neatly explained by Aesthetic or at least as Kant or Plato put it. I do have a hard time understanding the book though.
The Trial is the book that made Kafka click with me. I honestly think about it at least once a month. It is EXACTLY what life feels like now lol. Things randomly happen to you from a faceless entity, then you run around to different websites and apps trying to find who to talk to about wtf is even happening to you, the answer is they don't know and the company that ran that website didn't exist anymore-then that happens on loop until you die😤🤣
Another book by Clarice that not many read but I think is amongst her best works is “agua viva” (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81gua_Viva_(novel). It’s stream of consciousness which is not everyone’s cup of tea but for those who enjoy the book is simply exhilarating.
"The Plague" - Albert Camus. "La nausee" - Jean-Paul Sartre. The above books are good if you have interests in existentialism. "The Name of the Rose" - Umberto Eco. This book is good if you are interested in Semiotics and Medieval history. "Brave new World" - Oldus Huxley "1984" - George Orwell. These are those who are interested in Political Philosophy and Utopia.
I shall read all these books. I dont go to university but I am preparing to write the greatest literary work in history about history philosophy sciences spirituality and so on. Remember my name and mark my words. The name Anzar al Unza will be echoed in the annals of history
As I’m Brazilian I’m extremely happy to see Clarice Lispector on your list. Thank you for that ❤. Love your podcast btw
as a none Brazilian who loves Clarice's work i'm very happy to see her being talked about.

I am so happy to see Clarisse Lispector on that list. Usually, the only Brazilian author people read in the United States is Paulo Coelho.
Glad I stumble upon your channel.. love listening to this 😊

Glad you're enjoying :) You can find us on TikTok @overthink_pod for more as well
Clarice Lispector! Amazing writer
Middlemarch goes insanely hard, it is English Literature's answer to Tolstoy
I love the california vibe in this. And the pothos, it's really beautiful. Thanks for the recommendations and a very inspiring short as a whole.
Philosophy Professor AND Podcaster - because you have to show you have street cred.

I would say that while Middlemarch is the best, basically any George Eliot novel is a good time (not for the characters lol)
Was going to say the same. All so profound.
More of this please.
Middlemarch - my favorite 🤭 Written in pictures before the movies
You sure are right on the money in what you say about Kafka's Trial, Professor. Very good. I follow your work. Many thanks.
Have you read The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera? I think it's a wonderful book with interesting philosophical themes
Crazy you commented this, he literally just died today. RIP.
I found this book rubish 🙃
Also SixMonths in 1977 by Kit McQuinn. Love. Personal identity. Plato. Growing up back in the day...
I have LOVED all of your book recommendations. Please keep them coming!!
I would also recommend Piranesi, its very approchable but also confusing 😂😂😂
The Trial is great
OMG I always wanted to ask you this! Thank you!
Just downloaded Middlemarch on my Audible! ❤
Thank you for the recommendations
Wonderful channel, I am so happy I have found you. As an anthropologist in love with literature I loved the video and many others from you
Thanks - I just ordered GH and Atosha.
I've just found you here on TH-cam, and I want to read and read and read. Thank you! 🙂🌹📚❤
I'm interested in your full list but I won't be going to TikTok to view it. Is there any other way to access your recommendations? Thanks.
The 5th one is Swann's Way by Marcel Proust ;)
The only one I’d these books I haven’t read was Leaving the Atocha Station. I’ll put it on my pile of possibilities.
thank you!
Probably gonna major in statistics but still love these videos on great topics.
My challenge would be, what would be Isaiah Berlin in novel form?
glad you rec'd Eliot. Lispector's impenetrable, however. have enjoyed your stuff on youtube, though.
Ooh, added all of these to my TBR. ❤
I've read the trial and middlemarch.
Hello Mam, thank you for making podcast on philosophy. What book will you reccomend in teaching epistemology? Thank you in advance!
Thank you so much ❤
Lanark by Alasdair Gray
Please recommend books with commentary and examination notes
Oooohhhh Middlemarch co-signed by Dr. Anderson means it’ll have to jump to the head of my next-up queue 🙌
I wanted to read Middlemarch but got a little confused. I ended up with Middlesex instead but that was a good book too
This is great.
This woman is so sharp. 😳
What about D h Lawrence's Lady chatterley's lover as a novel on existentialism?

Just a question, after 12th what would be the ideal path for to become a clinical psychologist?
Finally a list that doesn't start with Camus lol. Love his stuff but he is everywhere in philosophical fiction
love it
What is deconstruction and living deconstructively?
th-cam.com/video/4Y7zKpCHHIA/w-d-xo.html
excellent
One ought to start with 1984 and move forward from there.
Wish you would have made this slower and have the names written. But thank you anyway.
"The Plague" - Albert Camus.
"La nausee" - Jean-Paul Sartre.
The above books are good if you have interests in existentialism.
"The Name of the Rose" - Umberto Eco. This book is good if you are interested in Semiotics and Medieval history.
"Brave new World" - Oldus Huxley
"1984" - George Orwell.
These are those who are interested in Political Philosophy and Utopia.
1984 is an accomplishment in somehow not being as garbage as Atlas Shrugged, but comes quite close.
Read Acharya Prashant once and you will find what you are looking for from the moment you were born,your real lover🤫
Sherlock 😂
No Proust?
You do realize Proust lost time is a series? Pretty sure she was only going for stand-alone
*Swann's Way* is one of the books in her hands at the beginning of the vid!
Yes, now that you mention it, a bit fuzzy, but it looks like Lydia Davis’ translation
Is it just me or she said 5 and only gave 4
I shall read all these books. I dont go to university but I am preparing to write the greatest literary work in history about history philosophy sciences spirituality and so on. Remember my name and mark my words. The name Anzar al Unza will be echoed in the annals of history
Casually, I have "Middlemarch" on my list. And "The Trial" is a masterpiece. Greetings from Italy ❤
Thank you so much 🙏
