Rating: Summary: Cicero - about friendship Review: When I saw the title and the author I first thought: such an old book, not worth to read. But since there are very few books about this topic, I gave it a try. And I was fascinated! The book is written like a protocolled talk with a famous man, called Laelius (who was a real existing person!). He was known as a good friend to someone who had died recently and they asked him if he was sad. He sad he was of course sad, but happy that his friend had a good life and a "quick" death, without pain. So many thoughts about friendship and what it means, the difference to love, the value of it are discussed in this text. Often I had the feeling of having had the same thoughts, but there were many new ideas and point of views about friendship which made me contemplate. Sometimes it took me several minutes to go on in the text - just because I had to think about one single sentence. The book isn't too long and it's not - as one could think - some weird philosophical stuff - it's just making you think about friendship! I loved this book and I wished everyone would read it!
