Aeneid, Virgil Finished on April 5, 2025

---

What is there left to say that hasn't already been said? It is probably the most famous Roman propaganda ever put to paper. If you like Homer's poetry, you will like Virgil. My favorite book is book six. Highly recommended.

Platonism, Mauro Bonazzi Finished on March 8, 2025

---

Short book on the history of Platonism, from Plato's death to the end of classical Neoplatonism. Although it does touch on the philosophical side of things, it is largely just a summary of its history.

The Aleph, Jorge Luis Borges Finished on February 19, 2025

---

Another collection of short stories. If you are planning to read Jorge Luis Borges, I recommend starting with this one. I prefer The Aleph to Fictions. My favorite story from this collection is Averroes' Search.

Fictions, Jorge Luis Borges Finished on February 7, 2025

---

Collection of short stories. I have to admit it took me a little while to get into it, but once I did I was hooked. I prefer Part Two to Part One and my favorite story is Funes the Memorious.

Grip, Stephan Enter Finished on January 27, 2025

---

Phenomenal book, which immediately became one of my favorite books ever. It is about four former mountaineering friends who decide to meet again after decades of absence, although the meeting never takes place in the book. The book consists of the journeys to the meeting, four chapters each written from the perspective of the four friends. The main themes are the passing of time and the changes that people go through because of the passing of time. Unfortunately, it has not yet been translated into English.
