Great book; I hope the movie does it justice.
One of my favorite books. Larson does a great job writing non-fiction, historical events in a way that feels like a novel.

Aurelius was a philosopher right? How's the book so far? I'm interested
If you like your philosophy straight to the point, without somebody talking like their trying to outsmart themselves I def recommend Meditations(Aurelius) and Letters From A Stoic(Seneca). You'll pick up usable advice the moment you start reading

The edition of Meditations in the post you quoted is the best version(Penguin)imo

I'm reading Dune, because I've never read and a lady friend bought it for me.

But I just bought this yesterday.

Jason Dessen, a quantum physicist, once had a brilliant research career ahead of him. But after a girlfriend’s unexpected pregnancy and the birth of a son, this future was derailed. Now Jason is a professor at a small Chicago college, content with his warm and loving family life until he’s abducted into a world in which his quantum many-worlds theory has become a fully realized technology for inter-dimensional transfer. In this world, Jason didn’t marry his girlfriend and never had a son. Jason is determined to get back to his family and his own world, but nefarious powers in the alternate reality conspire to stop him from revealing the criminal lengths they have gone to create the world-hopping technology.

I also picked up a favorite, And Then There Were None (Agatha Christie).
Imma tell you right now, the last book frank herbert wrote in the series (Chapterhouse iirc) is the LAST good book in the series :scust: his son is so pedestrian in comparison

It's like is Michael bay took over a Nolan film and replaced everything with explosions and everyone dumbing down

Just finished this:

Excellent book and it's the sequel to "The Power of the Dog," which was also fantastic.

Ridley Scott's supposed to be directing the film adaptation of these books and Leo might star in them.
Halfway through Power Of The Dog right now :ohlawd:

Can't put the shyt down :whew:
