Could you fine anons point me in the direction of some good books on stoic philosophy? I want to immerse myself in that school of thought

Gilbert Murray is nice and he's clearly an admirer of it

Epictetus' Handbook and Discourses is a must read if you want to get into Stoicism. Also Benson Mate's "Stoic Logic" and J.M Rist's "Stoic Philosophy" are good companions to understand the intricacies of Stoicism in more depth.

Read this book and you'll have plenty to immerse yourself into. Take your time and enjoy it.

Thank you anons, I appreciate any suggestions. Admittedly when I was an edgy younger person all of my philosophical interests were nihilistic, cynical, epicurean and hedonistic. I’m drawn to the endurance and, not necessarily peace, but acceptance that stoicism seems to embody.

You’ll be so inoculated to the absurdity of reality that nothing will ever phase you again.
