There's a thread about how people find new books, and one of my favorite ways to find things to read was browsing comments from the weekly 'What are you reading' threads in r/truelit and r/books. So what is Lemmy reading?

I'm finishing The Passenger, and about to jump into John Williams' Stoner. Excited to see what is next!

History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. Going for a cursory overview because of Philosophy club at my uni that has pretty cool people.

Ooh! I've seen it referenced a few times, but never got around to it. What do you think of it so far?

It's pretty cool, I'm still on the Greeks, so I think that'll take a while. It's pretty long and a little dry, but I'm learning a lot. One of my colleagues recommended the book The Passion of the Western Mind, as well.
