The library is still closed so no new books coming in. Time to hit that stash of books I've collected over time and always meant to read. At a library sale sometime ago I'd picked up a group of books called
Great Books of the Western World. I started on a play by Aeschylus -
Prometheus Bound. I knew the myth already so was looking forward to how the ancient Greeks would portray this struggle of gods and man. However at the beginning of the book was a list of all of the other books in the series and there in volume 12 was
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. I'd been wanting to read those for awhile - I often hear people quoting from them. (Yes, I do. "Have Gun, Will Travel" just had Richard Boone quoting him twice in the same episode.) Anyway, now I have to decide which to read first. However from the news reports looks like I'll have plenty of time to make it through both.
