I am not a philosophy student, but find this book a very enjoyable and fascinating read. Iris studiously removes the "self" from her novels, portraying a very distilled world. This books, therefore, gives a wonderful opportunity to relate directly to Iris' thoughts. It is structured as a series of mini lectures, essays etc, which allows a novice to philosophical works the opportunity to dip in and out.
