(Just skim through it, and read what you think is important.)
You might want to borrow this book from a local library in order to write this paper.
For citation, you can cite as much as you want to. Or simply not cite at all. (but make sure you put Epicurus’ philosophical ideas in the paper.) This is the sort of thing you might have heard Epicurean preaching in the market square of an ancient city. If it sounds like a religious message, that is no coincidence; Epicurus was revered by his followers as though divine, a sage who had answers to all the important questions of life.
