Woah, that's a bit off-topic. I wanted to hear what people thought about 
Mailman. :)

Depends on which questions interest you. You can roughly characterize the 
major areas in phil like so:

1. What is there?
2. How do we know?
3. What should we do?
4. Is it pleasing?
5. Should this convince us?

These questions correspond to metaphysics (yes, Josh, I realize the 
question is more at ontology, so shut up), epistemology, ethics, 
aesthetics, and logic. With so much stuff out there, it's hard for me to 
make a recommendation without narrowing the scope some.
