Why read it?
2 authors picked Through the Looking-Glass as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Many of us, when young, read Looking-Glass with Carroll’s first work, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but it was as an adult, eager to reflect philosophically, that I began to appreciate deep puzzles within our language and consciousness – and these are more prominent in Looking-Glass.

From Peter's list on grappling with what it is to be human.
