Selected Works (Cicero, Marcus Tullius) | Marcus Tullius Cicero

"Consider the paradox of a person who admits the wickedness of tyrannizing a country....but who nevertheless sees advantage in himself becoming its tyrant if he can....Who, in God's name, could possibly derive advantage from murdering his country? Of all murders that is the most hideous...even when its perpetrator is hailed, by the citizens he has trodden underfoot, as 'Father of his Country'."

People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present | Dara Horn

SqueakyChu I would really like to read this book. 3d

Estherhasredhair @SqueakyChu i am about half way done and it is so good! 3d

SqueakyChu Although I hate the title (!), I like the Israeli author, and I have heard good things about this book. 3d

Estherhasredhair @SqueakyChu from what i recall reading elsewhere, the author regrets the title of the book as well. However, it is so descriptive to the thesis of the essays presented that I cannot imagine another title for the book. But she is a very concise author with a lot to say. She comes off as well educated in her subject matter and keeps the audience entertained. 3d

SqueakyChu @Estherhasredhair Looking forward to reading it. Thanks for the info. 👍 3d

The Age of Magical Overthinking: Notes on Modern Irrationality | Amanda Montell

I got to spend some time with @the_wastrel today who recommended this book to me. It just so happens to fit the magical sparks or swirls book cover scavenger hunt prompt. I placed it on hold. If I don‘t get to it this month, I think I may attempt to participate in #NonfictionNovember next month if that‘s still a thing 😜 #HauntedShelf #SkeletonCrew
