"I have to disagree. Those shorts are crucial to Shieldes success. When wearing those you really feel the urge to push yourself and get rid of the extra you. Don't listen to her. This is a big man website and she is just a girl."

I felt the book The Swerve was 1/3 too long. After More/Erasmus the connection wasn't close enough, and I felt the author was fishing for a way to make Lucretius relatable to contemporary folks.

Lucretius invented the swerve! Plus the recent book called the Swerve, written by some fancy pants professor, was pretty banging.

Lucretius is too busy licking Epicurus' ass to come up with anything original...

My "fancy" book club read some letter by Epicurus meant to summarize his teachings. Later we read what we could of Philodemus. Everyone liked Lucretius better.

I haven't read any Epicurus. I try to resist the rumors that he is a hedonistic glutton who enjoys bubble parties and orgies in golden tubs of caviar. Share some of his stuff with us!

So I was reading some Epicurus today... I now remember why I generally stick to the poets and historical account.... and stay away from philosophy...

I just mean simple things... like the Moirai are the children of night.... then 600 lines later they are actually the children of Zeus and Themis.
