But of course, you could say any book with a story line is philosophical, as they (or at least the good ones) are based on a philosophical idea, or point and build from there.
EDIT-- I like conspiracy stuff, if not sci-fi such as Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code. Historical fiction is always my favorite.

You should read Foucault's Pendulum, by Umberto Eco.

Rhods wrote:Read: Crime and Punishmet, The Idiot, The Brothers Karmazov, Deamons, The House of the Dead and Poor folk, and Notes from the Underground. All are by Fyodor Doestevesky, theyre all rather dry ad heavy but if you get into it or if yor read mo than one at a time oyu start to notice how doestevsky's supporting characters are all conected with all of his other novels. Also the murder bits and thoughts in the brothers Karmazov and Crime and Punishment are dreadfully dark...and enjoyable.

. . . for mopey, pseudo-intellectual high school loners, that is. That goes for all the pop philosophy Ayn Rand drivel, too. It's alright, though. I think most of us go through that phase.

In fact I am studying a broad range of books on existentialism as part of my Philosophy Masters Degree at University, so give that 'pseudo-intellectual high school loners' bullshit a rest, its tragic when people like yourself point the finger at people like me and think 'I know what sort of person that they are', when, in reality, you haven't got the faintest idea who I am, and what I am reading the book for.
