Goodreads Best Philosophical Literature by Acclaimed Authors

'Fiction that aims to enlighten the reader "philosophically" (whatever you take that word to mean).' (Goodreads)
Works by Sartre, Orwell, Atwood, Dostoevsky, Harper Lee, Salinger, Austen, Tolstoy, Kermit the Frog and many others. What more could you ask for? The profound question left unanswered is why the 'Fifty Shades' books and 'The Da Vinci Code' didn't make it onto the list.
