Yeah so today I finished reading Caesars commentary on the gallic wars and I feel like I'm on track to become this meme

It's so fascinating. Cicero, as many shit opinions as he otherwise had, was right on target when he said Caesar's Commentarii ruined all hope of future histories being written - they were so clean, informative, and concise, without sacrificing a style of elegant simplicity, that they simply cannot be beaten.
(for his part, Caesar regarded Cicero likewise as a master of the Latin language and kept one of Cicero's books on rhetoric with him on his travels, so despite their clashes, the two men recognized each other's literary talents)

It was a joy, I'm definitely going to keep reading about the period. I've also been eyeing De Oratore, which is waiting to be snatched from a certain bookshelf.

But you know you still need a hot girlfriend, right?

She'll come when I reach a couple more levels of roman fanaticism and she meets my cat.
