Now listening to: Dawn of Victory
Quick review on this week's readings:
Oct 21: "On Old Age" by Cicero: 4/5 It's not all bad getting old.
Oct 22: "Jonathon Swift" by Thackeray: 3/5 All I ever think of when I read Thackeray is Colonel Makepeace from SG-1.
Oct 23: "Caesar" by Plutarch: 2/5 Back to Plutarch being meh.
Oct 24: "Oresteia" by Aeschylus: 2/5 I think I saw a version of this and liked it, but didn't love reading this selection.
Oct 25: "Machiavelli" by Macauley: 3/5 I don't have anything to say about this one. Interesting enough, but not mind blowing.
Oct 26 Ben Franklin's Autobiography: 3/5 Fun, and vaguely meta.
Oct 27: Buddhist Writings by Warren: 3/5 Karma's a bitch!
Average: 2.86 One point away from "passing."
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
This was kind of a low key "good" week. I think this is the kind of thing I mostly expected to read. Thought provoking, not the most entertaining, some stuff I recognized and some more obscure. On the whole, I think the project has been more "fun" than I thought.
