Letters from a Stoic is an amazing book, especially when you remember that it is just over 2000 years old

Letters from a stoic is just Seneca moaning about people taking hot baths. Or celebrating loud festivals

I have a love-hate relationship with 'Letters from a stoic'. Overall, the essays are beautifully written, highlight the need to recognise what's really important in our lives, and importantly, pretty enjoyable to read. What I didn't like about these essays however, is the cadence of Seneca's dialogues.Throughout the book one will find him lamenting about people who he thinks are less than the 'ideal'.I mean he's persistent enough to start sounding like a broken record.

It's very specific, but the Author Jonathan Wilson does some great journalistic work in Football(soccer for Americans). His book "Inverting the Pyramid" is a wonderful history of the tactical evolution of the sport, and my father is currently working through "Angels with Dirty Faces" a history of Argentine football specifically and seems to be enjoying it. I will also say The Communist Manifesto is worth reading for anyone interested in politics, because it's only like 90 pages and you get a clear and specific idea of communist ideology straight from the source without 150 years of bias and paraphrasing. I also read "Dirty Laundry" which is aboht managing ADHD and living with an ADHD partner this year, however I didn't find that to be particularly good. It was a lot of common sense stuff, and the general framing was weird in my opinion.

Reading "Godel Escher Bach" is the task of a lifetime...I STRONGLY recommend checking out the MIT Online lectures on KZitem. The trick to it is accepting there will be substantial stretches that you won't understand on the first reading, or the second reading...or even the tenth reading.
