I think I got the idea of what this is. Don't see a reason to read further. 
One hellish book I must say. I think this book would have been four times as bearable if the author removed that billion and a half anecdotes and quotes from ancient literature.

I didn't like his style. He kept jumping from subject to subject.

I didn't so much give up on this book, as I came to the realization that it's just not the kind of book I can read cover to cover. I will continue to dip in and out of it, whenever the mood strikes, as I very much enjoy it. I just enjoy it more in small doses.

Interesting thoughts. Takes a while to get used to all the Greek and Roman references if you aren't up on classics.
