You're in a library. Get a book and read it.

I agree with skar -- pick up a book.

Read some Isaac Azimov. There's a short story you can finish before your bonework called "The Last Question" that'll take you an hour to read maybe. It stays philosophical and makes you think while still being simple enough for a halfwit like me to understand.

Read "Foundation" by Azimov if you've got some more time.

Don't forget his Lucky Starr series.

Or his R. Daneel series (which later connect to the Foundation series).

Or, well, anything he wrote. Aasimov was an incredible writer: he wrote over 500 books (suck on that George R. R. Martin), in nearly every major category of the Dewey Decimal system. Like there are ten major categories, he wrote books in nine, and if his philosophical forward in one book qualified as Philosophy he would have hit all ten

... and they're all good. I mean, I've even read the man's joke book, and while a lot of them are now a bit dated ("classic"), it's still fun. For instance:

And the soldier replied with equal bitterness, "What are you complaining about? We've got to march back."

You just can't go wrong reading anything by Aasimov.
