I am looking into getting Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, I was just wondering which English translation is best.

I have the penguin edition. Honestly, it isn't really literature in the sense that the prose matters. It's more of a random assortment of lessons Aurelius learned over his life.
the version i just wrote, in which the word 'ass' can be used as shorthand for any idea or compound of ideas assigned to it:
ass

Pick up the Penguin Great Ideas one i'm reading it at the moment.
The translation isn't really important because it's just a series of aphorisms that he coined over the years.
KINDLE PAPERWHITE THE BEST

I have a copy of the George Long Translation, one of the only books I've sought worthwhile to reread, Timaeus, Crime and Punishment being the other two. You're in for a treat OP.
You should get something good instead

More like Ed Gein serial killer mode amirite
Even the family background fits. Homosexuality, multiple family members died or killed themselves. Lock Witty up in a dank cell!
