Yesterday I pulled a very dusty, slightly battered, book off of my shelf. I began flipping through, skimming slightly as I went along. First fifty pages are an introduction... considering the book, that is fairly reasonable. The next 110 pages are books 1-6 which also need to be read.
"What is this?" you may be asking. Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is my first reading assignment for school: the Lattimore translation of Homer's Illiad. Generally, freshmen are given two or three days to do it, but my class has the advantage of having a couple of seniors giving us early notifications. So, in between work, getting my brother ready for encampment, and myself ready for school, I have a bit or reading to do.
But I'm not worried...yet.
