Speaking of reading, I am furious because I bought an e-book called "Letters to Lucilius", only to discover that it was a selection of 24 letters out of the 124 that are known. I think I will buy the book that I am now reading, which contains all the letters plus interesting background material in the foreword and introduction. I renewed the library loan once already, and I don't know how long it will take me to read the whole book, supposing I ever do, but I really want to read all the letters at least, and also several of the other works in the book.
I'm especially interested in the two he wrote for women, his mother Helvia (to console her of his exile), and another to a woman named Marcia. I understand that the stoics owned that even women could have a claim to wisdom, with a lot of teaching of course
