What a great list- it is so helpful to have the philosophical ideas listed next to the book recs! I am also interested by the intersection of philosophy and literature (I'm a classicist by training) it always struck me as intriguing that Aristotle thought literature to be a more serious philosophical exercise than history.
Thank you! I have to agree with Aritotle tbh, literature is interdisciplinary in everyway. You cannot have politics, history etc without words and stories!
Thank you :) I've read Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit which I adore, but I know she's gone some other good ones out there I should probably get around to!
Thank you :) Philosophy leads you down an absolute wormhole because it's all linked to each other in some way and it can feel really overwhelming! If you want to read philosophy itself, I always recommend starting with Plato. He's accessible and good fun to read!

Great posts, lots of new to me authors! My fav philosophical author is Jeanette Winterson, ever read her?
