I read the original multiple times, but today I picked up a graphic novel, its kind of cool.

This book is actually really interesting and exciting and easy to read. I was so hesitant starting it but I'm happy I did.

Starting the Alexander Pope translation

Book IV The Red-Haired King and His Lady...I've got to finishes it in its entirety before class tomorrow.

Finishing up book 1 for the #OdysseyReadingClub!

Not too bad I guess

ugh, h8 summer reading

Supporting Isaiah..it's hella thick!

Reading this little gem for the 6th time... fun, fun.

In high school, this book is murder to me :) and I still don't understand it :( I wonder if I'll ever get it.....

Because i gotta read this shizzle for my Composition Class, #moderately thrilled :)

"Now when our ship had left the Ocean River rolling in her wake and launched out into open sea with its long swells to reach..."

"We reached the Aeolian island next, the home of Aeolus, Hippotas' son, beloved by the gods who never die—"

"Odysseus, the great teller of tales, launched out on his story…"

"Now as Odysseus, long an exile, prayed in Athena's grove,…"

I read this @ my hammock on the living room with a cold wind in my face.
It´s a nice one.

"So there he lay at rest, the storm-tossed great Odysseus, born down by his hard labors first and now deep sleep"

"As Dawn rose up from bed by her lordly mate Tithonus,…"

Apparently this has something to do with how the western civilisation evolved?
