After missing last week's, I read this week's entry as soon as I saw it. For someone who saw reading this week's book as a chore, you did a hell of a job. So do you see it getting repetitive at this point? One thing that struck me is his disappointment about merely being an emperor, and not being known as a philosopher. Talk about the grass always being greener.

Thanks for the encouragement. I guess it's less of a chore after I get started.
It's not exactly repetitive because Marcus is reinforcing the same principles from unique angles. While this is helpful to read and meditate on, it's a challenge to find unique commentary on.
Yeah, I agree -- his dissatisfaction with the station of Emperor of Rome was a stand-out for me in Book 8 as well.
