Ok guys, I'm a pretty new /lit/fag. I'm pretty much done with my academics for this year and want to read stuff. Doesn't matter if philosophical, if not, something entry level. I just ordered a Kindle Paperwhite, as it will be easier for me to take that at uni with me. I've been lurking for some time but never found the time to actually read anything besides my medicine related subjects (I'm a medfag). I've looked in the sticky but there are too many and have no idea where to start.

>inb4 start with the greeks
I'm not so sure if I want to get into that much philosophy, but if it's easy to read, I'm all for it.

Check out the /lit/ philosophy project you should be able to find it on google. If not just look up the /lit/ wiki and there's a bunch of book charts.
