Thoughts on Cicero / Essential readings?
>>8239308
Based. On Friendship is a good one to start with. Cicero is actually basically all that exists of middle stoicism; if you're interested in that De Finibus is essential.
De Officiis is especially important for Stoic peeps but an excellent read for anyone.
Contemplating on reading some of him after current reads.

I liked it, Its pretty interesting. Didn't find it confusing either, Although when i finished it I was a little disappointed.

Is it a reddit book? I heard about it because a band I like has a song named after it.
Have any of you read this? What did you think of it?
This is an excellent novel. Don't listen to the memesters.

I saw it in the bookstore recently and I sat and read the beginning portion and was completely underwhelmed.

Let's be honest, at the end of the day, this book is pretty good, even if it's overread.
