I thought it was less about that and more about reducing them to a really low, static form of life because they rejected the gift of life. Oddly, the only people that hang themselves in the canto hang themselves from buildings.

Oh. It is Jules Verne only because it is neither G.K. Chesterton nor RLS. The most comforting literary philosopher in English is perhaps Wm James. Without question, a style thing-- so very unlike his aspish bro's!

Tolkien, Verne, Dumas in his lighter novels, Enid Blyton, Asimov and Rowling's first five books, all in pretty much this order.

So I have read many lovecraft books lately and have a superb. idea for a book series,

Anyone can have an idea for a book, or book series. Writing it is the hard part. I suggest you start trying to write it yourself and do it in your own language.

How good are Margaret Doody's books with Aristotle as a protagonist ?

I like crime novels and my historical knowledge is crap even if I'm into philosophy, so that's probably the kind of book that would suit me. Is it a bit like... Sherlock Holmes novellas ? like Agatha Christie ? Is it a good opportunity to learn stuff about the institutions of ancient Greece ?

I doubt you'll learn much at all. Usually "historical fiction" novels do nothing more than namedrop a few famous references. I was fooled into trying historical fiction by some user on this godforsaken board, and I ended up recommending it to my colleague before having read it. I'm embarrassed forever and ever! There's nothing worse than a novel which claims to pay homage to history but has nothing "historical" about it other than the location. You'll learn just as much about Julius Caesar through a caesar salad case study.

Giordano Bruno on the desire for women:

"That final insult and ill-deed of nature, which under the guise of
beauty tricks us with a surface, a shadow, a ghost , a dream , a Circean incantation directed toward the service of procreation; a beauty which comes and goes, is born and dies, blossoms and festers; and woman is a little beautiful outside, for her true inward self contains permanently a potpourri, a warhouse, a grab bag, a market of all the filth, poisons, and harmful substances our stepmother Nature has been able to produce; which, after having collected that seed which served her comes often to pay with a stench, a repentance, sadness, weariness... and with other ills which can be seen throughout the whole world."

Giordano Bruno thinks it right that women should be loved and honored only:
"As much as is owed to diem for the little they give at that time and on that occasion, unless they have some virtue other than a natural one, namely the virtue of [hat beauty and splendor and service without which they must be deemed to have been born more uselessly into the world than any diseased fungus which occupies the ground to the detriment of better plants."

This also interests me.

No Easy Day was a pretty good, easy read.

It is kind of difficult to avoid WWII & cold war books, because there are so many. I know I've barely scratched the surface of that myself.

Irish people aren't just inherently able to understand all that Joyce says. Even the references to real places in Dublin were initially lost on me, and I grew up in Dublin.
I don't get out much though.
