Plutarch: Lives of the noble Grecians and Romans by Plutarch

download it here and have your text to voice app read it to you from plain text. My mac reads it to me and it’s nice, or there’s simple app called Voice ( for Android ) which also does a pretty good job, and others too:

So I have been listening to Plutarch about the lives of the most prominent Greeks and Romans and was astonished to find out that most of these people were mass murderers., not really great people but a bunch of violent dumbass fond of wrestling and spears. So far no respite from large armies and battles. I'm about to go into Demosthenes which is a bit reassuring because he battled with words.

Actually just about to be done with Cicero and, still, found out that even the wise men were stirring violence and committed violent acts on account of gaining power.

So, read Plutarch: Lives of the noble Grecians and Romans instead of reading newspapers which now that they have been satisfied bloodthirsty on death and disease have started counting the unemployed. The internet has become so saturated with b******* that now even my goto weather app shows the numbers of dead and sick people in between the humidity, chances of rain and wind speed, they somehow managed to include the numbers of the sick and the dead. I realized the internet has become gross because of greed and ads, and all kinds of corporate speak which ambushes us from every corner. I have resorted to reading two of my favorite sites only - Wikipedia and project Gutenberg. I don't think there is anything on the internet worth reading other than possibly also LibriVox, archive.org and of course, all the piracy sites.

Have your life measured up to the greatest heroes of mankind and see what you come up with. So far I am winning as I have never killed a man.

p.s. I was about to lecture you about handbags, but, boy, I realized that we as humanity have come a really long way from being truly savage so I guess the handbag is a small price to pay.
