Highly recommend Fear and Trembling for anyone wanting to get into Kierkegaard. I’m no philosophy expert so it took me a long time to digest it even though it is quite short but, really profound if you can past some of the old-timey, overly religious perspectives. Also, phrases like a “Knight of infinite resignation” are just so flavorful
