Super helpful! I'm gonna look into every one of those books. Also, while obviously not a good academic source, I can't help but be entertained by the "Stoic bros" online teaching about going to the gym and finding a hot girlfriend. Any thoughts of "broicism"?

Merry Christmas (and Saturnalia), and thank you so much for sharing!!

Super helpful list.

Question - how are you dealing with books that aren’t really meant to be digested in one continuous sitting. For eg, I am reading discourses now and it has taken my 2 months to full digest the handbook up to No. 29.

What’s the game plan around reading books like meditations or senecas letters that are less books and more something to be contemplated upon.

Excellent list, thank you! To clarify, is the curriculum to read through them sequentially from the top of the list down?
