I tried to read it a couple of years ago and I wasn't motivated enough to finish it.

That's be..."Sing for our time, too."<br /><br />That's beautiful. I love that mystical quality in the writing and very much look forward to reading this -- because of you.<br /><br />You're right: it's incredble to contemplate how many minds have danced with this work.*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-69703401172681282982012-08-05T15:37:23.203-04:002012-08-05T15:37:23.203-04:00I've never read The Odyssey, but I know I want...I've never read The Odyssey, but I know I want to at some point.

It's a true, true classic but it has never crossed my path. Why? Firstly, it scares me, I even have trouble spelling the title! It sounds boring, but I'm passing judgement before I even open the book. Your inspiring review has finally reached me, today I will order my very own copy.
