I'm reading pic related and enjoying it. What other books challenge materialism while being fairly accessible?

Offtopic, but can anyone who's better than me in the english language help me with the word "baloney"?

does it derive from the italian "bologna"? If so, why is a city used to describe falsitude? Or is it its own word altogether?

Old slang term from the 1920s. Well documented for meaning foolishness

Kastrup fails to embrace Platonism, leading to his philosophical view sinking into nihilism in the same way as materialism does. All in all, a lateral move.
