Rated The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America 6/10
<div>This is basically a book about the Chicago World's Fair with a longform essay about a serial killer smooshed between chapters. Both have some interesting moments, but the writing is also a bit overwrought and speculative for my tastes in nonfiction. There are some assumptions about different people's mannerisms and inner thoughts that he could not possibly know, most of which do not add anything substantial to the narrative. The overall effect is just an ok book. I learned a few things.</div>

Rated Meditations 10/10
There are very few books I consider to have changed my life. This is one of them. (like many good books, you have to meet them at the right time; this hit me the second time I read it).<br><br>What I love about it is the intimate struggle of a man, a powerful man, born 2000 years ago but struggling with the same things we fight everyday. From the trivial ones like get up from bed, meeting annoying people, meeting smelly people, but also the existential one like being a good man, how to live a good life, and the nature of life and death.<br><br>Moreover, this edition is excellent. It uses a very modern language, easy to follow for a modern reader without a classical literature degree, and without being artificially convoluted.
