It's a really good book. The plotline is nothing special but it contains so much information about philosophy in a format that doesnt let you fall asleep (unlike in school :D). The story is written by a Norwegian author. My favorite parts were basically the ones about the Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. The story even included Lebanon :) !!

It's a story about a girl who receives letters from a mysterious source. These letters are the beginning of a philosophy course she takes. It's a really interesting book that simplifies your understanding of most philosophy courses. I recommend this book for everyone since it's not only full of information but does also keep you rather entertained.

Same!

I ought to reread the book once (yet again XD), there was also a television series/movie, anyone seen it? It's not as good as the book imo (still nice though) but I taped it anyway, may want to watch it again later.

I'm ashamed to say that I've never read the entire book, just parts of it. Jostein Gaarder wrote a few similar books, I think, don't recall correctly.
