Yeah, dude!
I've gotten into some Nietzsche, Hume, Kant, and look forward to eventually delving into Spinoza and Descartes, to say nothing of the Greeks and Romans (one thing; Lucretius is great!).
Lots of excellent stuff to be found. They really make much of the current theist-atheist debates appear lacking in many aspects, almost juvenile; there is a certain art to writing not often employed today--a style of elegance, respect for the arena of ideas--that flows through the pen for these guys, at least that's my take.
Also, I'm reading William James' (psychologist) Varieties of Religious Experience (1902) right now, and I feel this should be required reading for everyone interested in religious discussion!
