Not that anon, but I assumed he meant just not to over estimate the value of literature vs. actual experience.

Seneca and Musonius Rufus are the only others I know of.

Not an actual stoic, but Cicero gives a good rundown of what the Stoics believed, and adopts many of their stances in his own somewhat idiosyncratic philosophy.

Seneca, Diogenes because why not?

You might as well delve into the Vedas, Zen Buddhism, and some Quaker Christianity (i.e. Tolstoy) while you're at it too.

Posts like this remind me that /lit/ doesn't actually read books and that I've fallen for a meme

Seneca. Seneca is the best stoic both in theroy and in style.

Epicureans have more fun.

Read De Reum Natura.
