This is why I keep coming back to HN. Everyday I find weird and wonderful surprises on the front page.

  I really enjoy the writings of the Stoic philosophers. If you enjoyed Seneca, you should check out Marcus Aurelius' Meditations[1] and Epictetus' Discourses[2] EDIT: changed the links to Project Gutenberg links on jwdunne's suggestion 1: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2680 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2680 2: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10661 http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10661

    Because of age of the writings, you can probably find free digital copies on Gutenberg.org. I'm sure that's how I got Meditations.

      Good idea. Edited to include them.

    I just finished Aurelius' "Meditations" last month - my family has a small, leatherbound copy that was a gift to my great-grandfather for Christmas, 1924. I found it particularly resonant, incredible for a text that's almost two thousands years old.
