Im on Satire 5 and Satire 6 of his, on gluttons and women. he's pointing out the degeneracy of contemporary rome, 50 a. d.
Its entertaining because the way he describes people of his day is exactly like the our world in the west.

No, sounds kinda boring tbh. I bet my husband would like it tho he's into weird history shit.
I just wikipedia'd him. Apparently the 16 satires are "vital" to understanding roman culture
Dang. Well is he funny? Is like satire fun to read? I only know the Greek dudes like Plato—plato can write ok, I like his little stories. Aristotle nah, like a textbook. Dry. But he says he gon check it out. So may have that playing around the house next few night ig lol
I never have.
Then you dont understand a culture thats a major part of our history
