Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
2.0

I found this read somewhat interesting. The book reminded me of George Washington's book on Rules of Civility except that it came from a Roman emperor many years prior. The "meditations" come from an emperor who was against Christians but had created a strong government in Rome at the time. Obviously coming from a Pagan, the book isn't the best to follow, although some ideas are noble. I read it for the historical aspect.
