The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the Greater Philosophers by Will Durant
4.0
It's been a long time since I hadn't read anything on Philosophy, so I took this recommendation to get reminded about its basics.
Durant wrote this magnificent book running away from academy, trying to explain Philosophy to anyone curious about it but for a XXIst century reader still feels like a challenging book.
I loved how the author makes a proper bio intro of each philosopher so you can see the link between the guy's life and his thoughts.
The only thing I missed it's the lack of some thinkers between Aristotle era and Bacon, too big of a gap
