I was going to post Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, but i see someone already mentioned it! I'd like to second this. I'm not sure I quite grasped everything mentioned in the book, but it's main focus is on human nature and the culture that we have created for ourselves as a race. I'm sort of an amateur in philosophy, but am very intrigued.
Anybody have some books that are thought provoking, but more on a beginner's level? I keep getting the feeling i'm missing out on a lot of connections in other books. (If it helps, i'm only 17.. =/ )
