Der Geschichtenverkäufer
by Jostein Gaarder, Anne Born
· published 2000 · read 2007-10-01
★★☆☆☆

Sophie’s World
by Jostein Gaarder, Anne Born
· published 1991 · read 2003-11-01

by Jostein Gaarder, Anne Born
· published 1992 · read 2005-05-01
★☆☆☆☆
I find Gaarder grating when he's preaching about philosophy, I find him unbearable when he starts on religion. It doesn't help that every of his book has this "teenager stumbles on mysterious story, lets said story happily preach at him". I
