Just a few pages remaining now, would've finished it, but kid got a book from his school library, and wanted me to read it too, so reading Gangsta Granny by David Williams.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I've been lax on reading 1984 by George Orwell due to starting Epictetus: The Complete Works by Robin Waterfield. I like it so far, it's definitely a palate cleanser from the dystopian themes of '84.

I do have an anthology on poetry that I also sparingly read. I'll probably read one poem later tonight.

In the mornings I try to read the daily page from The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday but I don't always get around to it.

The Daily Stoic looks interesting, how are you liking it?

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like it for what it offers, which is a daily stoic teaching.

It's very simple but if you want something to ease your mind in an approachable way I'd recommend it.

While most people will tell you to go to the original sources, if you are interested in Stoicism, I think reading this book is a nice "ritual".

I am all for original sources, but some times you just need something bite sized to read. Will check it out.
