Meditations: Introduction by D. A. Rees
Marcus Aurelius

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
Laura Hillenbrand
SHARD is a "...grueling story reminiscent of Laura Hillenbrand's book Unbroken...fascinating, uplifting, at times depressing, and keeps the reader going, wanting to find out what happens next to Ethan and his fellow prisoners. I highly recommend it." https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J7Z3JXT#SalesRank

Jack London
