• This is in answer to:
  • Name a book that was difficult to read. See all answers
    • 'The Odyssey ' wasn't an easy read

    • Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
      of that man skilled in all ways of contending blah blah blah

      Definitely not worth it, this book may be the most epic poem ever written but it deserves to be burned... every last copy. If I ever got the chance to meet Homer I would punch him in the face.

    I went to a small liberal arts college in upstate New York for my undergraduate work. When accepted, they sent me a couple of books I'd be expected to read during the summer so I'd be prepared for the first semester's Freshman Seminar Imagine my surprise when one of the books on the list was The Odyssey ... I think I about fell over, bought the book, divided number of pages by number of days left in summer and said forget it.
