 Some of this sass is in the reading.

Dec 7– From Cicero by Plutarch translated by Arthur Hugh Clough

Summary: Cicero was a wily politician/judge.

Commentary: So the Lives are all paired (it's sometimes titled Parallel Lives). Each set has a Greek and a Roman that were somehow similar, comparable, whatever. Which I knew. What I didn't know is that there's a little essay at the end comparing the two. I've been reading these all year, and generally not super impressed with them, but I wonder if it'd work better if I actually read excerpts from a matched pair and the essay together. That's not generally how 15MAD works, but I think it'd really improve it for this set.
