Stoicism is never a light read, but it does offer some good advice! I wouldn’t consider myself a stoic by any means, but I carry some of their teachings with me.
I’m not familiar with his other works, but I loved reading through his Parallel Lives and was a bit saddened when it ended. Sure, they are not really historically accurate, but damn if they aren’t entertaining!
Virgil is a fraud and a sellout.
In this household we only read Lucretius.

Feel free to post your favourite Latin author below! Every answer is accepted, except Cicero. Fuck Cicero.
Seneca my beloved :D
And I guess those at 196 might like Petronius

Honest question: what’s the difference? Is it a joke? English is not my first language and I’d gladly take the chance to learn something new.
Just a lame joke about Cicero’s fondness of nested statements and putting the verb as far into the sentence as possible XD
Ha! I briefly considered it to be a joke, but then started overthinking it too much. Now I feel dumb :D
Can Plutarch come to chill?
Of course!

Would you recommend reading his other works?
