it was amazing
bookshelves: read-in-2020

The reason I could tell when I began this book so definitively is that I still have my purchase receipt. (Also on that sheet of paper is How to Win an Election: An Ancient Guide for Modern Politicians which I finished considerably before this one for a reason you will find out for yourself when you pick these books up as well!)
Normally I don't know whenever it is I start these things.

ANYWAY behold! This is a work by M. Tully Cicero, one of the people about whom I made one of my favourite Halloween costumes! He is a good man. I studied him for a year in undergraduate school, enjoying fine delicacies late at night in Main Hall, about this time. It would have been yesterday, though.

I particularly was fond of his Discussions at Tusculum, but it's all worthwhile. You'll see.
