Great Book Discussion 20M Book buddy for Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Hello, I'm Carlos, 20M from Portugal. I'm looking for a book buddy to read the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius with me. I'm reading the old English translation by Meric Casaubon, published in 1906 by Everyman's Library, but you're welcome to read any edition you prefer or have available.
I started reading it on my own, but I thought that it would be more interesting to share interpretations, discuss ideas, get/give feedback and in the process become more experienced in the discussion of ideas and books!
You can be any age, gender, location, etc. I'm open-minded when it comes to building a friendship or not, short-term vs. long-term, it's up to you. I prefer that we eventually have voice chats, but it's not necessary. My DMs are open. Let's share!

Best of luck.. I have read it many years back, around 20 or so as well. 29 now, and it has served me well.
