Marcus Aurelius, Gregory Hays: Meditations (Paperback, 2003, Modern Library)

Different

Lots of reviews online for this. It basically lived up to expectations. I found it interesting for what it is. The notes and musings of a Roman emperor and stoic philosopher from some 2000 years ago. One to dip into every now and then. Itโ€™s a difficult read in one hit as it is repetitive and lacks a clear structure or thread. Nevertheless I found it interesting and was intrigued to be reading something (albeit adapted) that was so old and also โ€œpersonalโ€ in terms of thought processes Aurelius would have had.
