Letters from a Stoic

Seneca’s “Letters from a Stoic” is a timeless masterpiece that never fails to captivate me. His wisdom, penned centuries ago, feels startlingly relevant today. I found myself nodding along, highlighting passages, and pausing to reflect on his insights about life, death, and everything in between. Seneca’s practical advice on cultivating inner peace and living virtuously resonates deeply, offering a refreshing perspective in our chaotic world. It’s a book I’ll return to again and again, each time gleaning new nuggets of wisdom.

The Iliad

Immerse yourself in Homer’s timeless epic, “The Iliad,” a tale of gods and mortals intertwined in the brutal Trojan War. I was captivated by the raw emotions and vivid battle scenes, feeling the weight of Achilles’ wrath and Hector’s nobility. The poetry’s rhythm, even in translation, carries you through this ancient world of honor, love, and fate. It’s a challenging read, but one that left me pondering the human condition long after I’d turned the final page.
