NegativeCurvature reviewed Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Good book but notes are poorly linked
4 stars
The content is great but the notes are linked poorly (at least in the Kindle version). In the end there are plethora of helpful notes explaining ancient things, but they are only linked backwards. I.e. not from text to footnotes but from notes to text, making their discovery hard.
