So I started reading my last book of the summer challenge, Homer’s Odyssey. And about 3 pages in, I thought to myself, “Gee, how the fuck did I read this when I was in college?” Perhaps it’s the archaic language or the reference to various Greek gods in every other line, but I just ain’t gettin’ in to this behemoth right now. This book strikes me as something that one would read in the winter time, sitting by the fire with a mug of grog. Whatever the fuck grog is.
So maybe some other time….but for now, I’ve decided upon A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith as my replacement book. I just got this book from Bookmooch and I don’t even remember what it’s about, and haven’t even started reading it, but I have a really good feeling about it.
