It's very academic and doesn't go super in depth on any individual figure but it gives pretty solid summaries of the religious-feeling/mystical-relation-to-that-which-is-larger-than-oneself aspects of different philosophers' work. I was initially especially drawn in by the inclusion of both Ecclesiastes and a reference to James' Varieties in the title, but the book covers a pretty solid spread of people. Not very far in so far and a lot is review for me but I'm a lot more interesting in tackling Plato's Phaedrus now.

Women like Joyce don't write anything but prose. They meander along turning tricks and attention whoring and then abruptly tell you it is your fault when they leave you forever because you were never truly a concerned lover, you didn't pry at the depths, nor could even your sentiments reach her womb let alone find completion inside her splendor.
