For me it was through Deleuze’s course on Spinoza. Stumbled upon it. Thought “well, idk anything about this, I might as well listen to it in the background while playing Warframe”.
I ended up… not playing a lot of Warframe…

Thanks for sharing! Out of curiosity, could you tell a bit more about this book, Joy in the morning?
Joy in the Morning is a comic novel: one of P G Wodehouse’s many Jeeves and Wooster tales.
Bertie Wooster - who is not remotely interested in philosophy or any other intellectual pursuits - picks up a copy of the Ethics as a gift for his valet, the much wiser and more knowledgeable Jeeves, which leads to a misunderstanding that develops the plot. As usual, Wooster ends up in a variety of awkward social situations and Jeeves saves the day. The characer of Jeeves is mentioned to have an appreciation of Spinoza a couple of times elsewhere in these stories, but without any detail. In this particular tale, the book could just as easily been any other ‘improving’ work. Nothing other than the name is mentioned.
Alright, I didn’t know of this series, but thank you!
