If you're looking for a book on Schelling, Spinoza, and existence monism, I've got something for you. Bookshop.org is a really cool site. I always donate to Uncle Bobbie's Coffee & Books and if you'd like to pick up my book you can too!

Adorno-Horkheimer didn’t get a copy of Benjamin’s “Theses” until mid-1941. Reading it they discovered not only remarkable coincidences with their most recent work but differences they couldn’t help but want to fight him over, hours without end, at a Parisian café open.substack.com/pub/jamescra...

I've spent the last few weeks returning to a paper on monism and eternity in Plato, Spinoza, and Schelling. My brain is starting to melt. Thankfully I still have a couple months to finish it.
“This knowledge in which the eternal self-identity recognizes itself is reason” (Schelling, SW I/6, 141).
