Well actually, I think it's a good piece of literature in large part because of its clarity and succinctness, so if you really feel you should read it it's a relatively trivial undertaking (it's only about 100 pages).

By the way I read the older translation which is considered better than the new one, I hear.

So say you find in an old house or an antique shop this very simple looking spear. Then you by chance (or is it fate!) that the ancient weapon was made to kill gods. You find that it was forged by the Dwarves of Norse mythology then used to murder the gods of Olympus. Then it turned to the south to slay the old gods of Egypt and finally brought Ragnarok on the children of Ymir themselves. What do you do with it? Who do you tell?

Do you think that the Epicurean world view is basically the best one ? I knot it may seem overly 4chanish/internet nerdish but I don't know it's just great.

You're going to want to read Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, Virgil, and Plutarch.

I'm thinking Arbys.
