Which book blew your mind the most? The book that ruined all other books for you because none can compare?

I can't help but feel like /lit/'s "figure it out yourself" attitude towards studying philosophy is a continental bias.

>Philosophy is like, about your experience bro

It's fine to read secondary sources and whatnot. You're going to understand what the hell is going on 1000x faster, as well as understand things you're just going to never see. You don't just have someone bash their head on Plato or Kant or whatever by themself. People have been studying these texts for ages and debating about what they mean, and you expect some random 120 IQ schmup to just "figure it out"? This is not how intellectual activity does or should take place. This is not how philosophy fucking works.
