Ah, we are much alike then. Not professional classicists, but enthusiasts. I donât know Rufus at all, but I also havenât yet read Arrianâs biography of Alexander, though I have it in the great Landmark edition. Aurelius is worth reading, but I was a little disappointed in it, I think because my expectations were raised over many years. On the other hand, Plutarchâs Lives is my all-time favorite book. Happy reading.
A bit of context for non-trekkies: The Borg queen would assimilate human experiences in her quest for perfection. With that knowledge she would attempt to dominate humankind.
