On the genre of Stoicism, Marcus Aurelius has intrigued me for some time. I have yet to read any of Seneca's work though but imagine that it is any bit as much quality(!).
I would like to add a candidate for the recommendation on Stoic philosophy - "Meditations by Marcus Aurelius".
Meditations disappointed me, it was so obviously never meant as a coherent whole. Just long lists of notes in more or less random order, lots of repetition, not everything intelligible, few things applicable.
I think reading a randomly selected 1/6th of Meditations gives more or less the same experience as reading all of it.
