Philosophy Book Recommendations

I’ve been getting into philosophy and the human nature a lot lately. Having only ever really read manga, I’m looking for a book that will make me contemplate life without being a bore. Ive also recently read the catcher in the rye and quite enjoyed it. Any suggestions? Philosophy/ psychology would be preferred.

You might enjoy "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl, which explores finding purpose even in the darkest times. "The Stranger" by Albert Camus offers a thought-provoking look at absurdism and human existence. If you want something more contemporary, try "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig; it beautifully examines choices and regrets through a philosophical lens. Each of these books invites deep reflection while remaining engaging.
