@Kooks phil,
I began as a Comp Lit major, but soon found myself drawn to philosophical literature (for example Mann, Hesse, Sartre); after a stint as a History major, I finally made the plunge by changing my Major to Philosophy which ended up a permanent decision.
I have always remained interested, though, in the almost inevitable alliance between the greatest literature and philosophy (one has only to think of Goethe or Shakespeare).
I am sure we shall have many discussions in the weeks to come, and remember that you can always ask questions about what you are reading and rely on our Members to provide perspectives and insights.
Welcome to the PhilForums!
Regards,
John
