I've been delving into the
Action Philosophers series through the ComiXology app on my iPad. Of course, I started with the Ayn Rand freebie. It's an interesting series. I'd rather have the version that's formatted as a comic rather than a PDF. The comics readers do such fascinating things with panel navigation these days.

But those may or may not be in your area of reading interest, so maybe this doesn't help (I like them and they're entertaining and informative, but very cartoony and definitely on the "light" side, so YMMV). |
You've given me quite a few leads to follow up, sir. Thank you!
