In order of importance:
1. The Gay Science
>This is my favorite book of all time, delves deep into many aspects of Nietzsche’s thinking and offers valuable insight such as living dangerously and amor fati, my favorite paragraph from any writer is Aphorism 276.

2. The World as Will and Representation
>My first exposure to Transcendental Idealism and voluntarism in an explicit fashion, I had already leaned towards both but Schopenhauer’s metaphysics fleshed it out.

3. Critique of Pure Reason
>Provides solid argumentation for transcendental idealism outside of just supposing it’s true, radically life changing to know space and time are a priori sensibility. Honestly reading this will make you go insane if you understand it.

4. Brothers Karamazov
The first “big boy” book I read in my junior year of highschool. Generically found it through a 100 best books of all time list but ended up reviving my love of reading and knowledge that I had lost upon entering high school.

5. Plato’s Republic
>First philosophy book I ever read, as most recommend, and it was a good introduction for philosophy books as I felt I was having a discussion with Socrates and Glaucon, Thrasymachus, etc. I had been interested in philosophy since middle school and already failed to read Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil (not because of the contents of the book, but the horrific Thomas Common translation). I was already an atheist determinist etc. I found myself on Thrasymachus’s side against Socrates and found the book very engaging.
