    Tried to find a thread about this but couldn't find any thread like this posted recently.

    So fellow book enthusiasts, in this thread discuss any book you have read or are planning to read in the future!
    Currently I am reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, here is some info about the book:

    While on campaign between 170 and 180, Aurelius wrote his Meditations in Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. The title of this work was added posthumously—originally he entitled his work simply: "To Myself". He had been a priest at the sacrificial altars of Roman service and was an eager patriot. He had a logical mind and his notes were representative of Stoic philosophy and spirituality. Meditations is still revered as a literary monument to a government of service and duty. The book has been a favourite of Frederick the Great, John Stuart Mill, Matthew Arnold, Goethe, Wen Jiabao, and Bill Clinton.[261]
    It is not known how far Marcus' writings were circulated after his death. There are stray references in the ancient literature to the popularity of his precepts, and Julian the Apostate was well aware of Marcus' reputation as a philosopher, though he does not specifically mention the Meditations.[262] The book itself, though mentioned in correspondence by Arethas of Caesarea in the 10th century and in the Byzantine Suda, was first published in 1558 in Zurich by Wilhelm Holzmann, from a manuscript copy that is now lost.[263] The only other surviving complete copy of the manuscript is in the Vatican library.

    Thanks for your contribution. Would you recommend The Godfather to other users and if so (or not) why?
