Weekly “what are you reading” Thread :marseyreading:

So you can discuss your weekly readings.

I’m still reading Moby Dic, currently halfway through, so far is great, though as English is not my native language It means I have to look up quite a bit in the dictionary to learn the “old timey” words, but I’m using it less now the more I learn, it also made me check up the Bible to find the biblical counterparts of the characters with biblical names, which is interesting.

I was trying to read Thomas Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions, but got bored with it and went back to random podcasts for a while, but thought it was time to read a real book, so this week I started Marcus Arelius's Meditations.

I'm listening to the Amazon Classics version, but there's so many translations and audiobook readers that I was curious on if I might benefit from a newer version instead of this one.

I own a very good version of the “Meditations” in Portuguese filled with notes where the translator shows some of the original Greek quotes, translate word by word and explains the context. I imagine there are many translations like this in English too.
