Thanks for the bump! For those interested in The Odyssey group read, we are planning to have read the first six books by next Monday. Start reading today or tomorrow, and that's only a book a day! So please consider joining in.
In the meantime, there's no need to wait until next Monday to start talking about it. The thread is open for discussion and you are welcome to pose comments, questions, observations, anything at all, as you read it. Based on The Iliad thread, I can say that the classicists on board are willing to answer questions and explain any issues you may encounter.
Speaking personally, while I hadn't read either The Iliad or The Odyssey (in translation) since my freshman year in college, I always thought The Odyssey to be the better read. So even if you haven't read The Iliad or found it too much of a slog, there's a good chance The Odyssey will hold your interest.
