June: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Impress your friends, relatives, and (most importantly) people you hate by reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius! And maybe even get something out of it too! Any version is fine-- I'll be reading this free Project Gutenberg one.

If you read some of it, show up anyway! If you read all of it and are one of the first five to show up, I'll get you a beer! (scouts honor here- I won't quiz you)

This group is normally targeted towards older novels rather than classic philosophy... so expect a chill discussion!

Goodreads description:
Written in Greek by the only Roman emperor who was also a philosopher, without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a remarkable series of challenging spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the emperor struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. While the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation and encouragement, Marcus Aurelius also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a timeless collection that has been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and readers throughout the centuries.
