I have not been outdoors all day. I had enough of fresh air when I opened the door a few inches. I closed it right away, and have been reading ever since. For some reason I picked up a small book from my shelf, one of my favourites, Cicero's On old age. After a while I decided to check whether there would be anything by C. as e-book. Yes there was! Over 600 pages of his letters translated to Finnish as recently as 2021. I have it now on my Kobo reader, and I don't need any new books for quite a while.
Extremely interesting. These are real letters that have once, over 2000 years ago been sent. The language is good but C. is talking on everyday mundane matters just like anyone of us today.
