Thanks. I have not read that, but I should.

I’m not sure what you know about Meditations, so forgive me if if you already know this, but it’s not really a book. It’s a compilation of Marcus Aurelius’s journal so it doesn’t read like a book. It wasn’t written with the intention of anyone else reading it.
It doesn’t have chapters but it’s broken into “books”. Book 1 is an amazing tribute to everyone he ever learned anything from. It goes name by name and what they taught him. It’s an incredible exercise in gratitude.

Talk about a depressing read: "Murderland - Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers" by Caroline Fraser. Fraser links exposure to airborne arsenic, lead and other metals from copper smelters (The Aroma of Tacoma) as links to serial killers behavior (Bundy, Ridgeway.....and many, many more). This was not an easy book to read or should I say it was not fun to read but certainly but worthwhile and quite fascinating.
I keep a list of the books I read and rate them 1 to 5, five being the best (and quite rare). I ended up giving the book only a 3.8 rating probably because I'm not likely to sleep well tonight if I dwell on some of details Fraser shares with readers.
