I've almost finished reading the Republic. I love it, I'm going to keep reading philosophy. My concern is that I have no-one in my social circle that I can talk to about it. What do I do?

This is what I want to avoid, is there somewhere we can go to talk to like minded people?

I loved the Republic as well but I found it got extremely repetitive and boring at times, saying things it has already explained and ideas I already know. However for the most part I enjoyed it.

What do I read next?

I'm so alone. I tried telling the Diogenes chicken story at a party once and no one laughed.
