went back to some time in high school – i forget when because we read “mythology” by edith hamiliton one year – but i read “the odyssey” by homer this week – i had totally forgotten most of it – like events, no – but how the book was told – so it was an enjoyable read – i’m sure it would’ve been better in greek – except for the fact that i wouldn’t have been able to read it:)

i suppose it stands as a classic for high schoolers because it’s both a love story (man and wife stay true – sort of – to each other for 20 years) and a gorefest – so it appeals to both guys and gals:)

read “sunday” by craig hareline last week – story of how sunday got to be sunday – interesting how sunday came to be viewed as a day of rest – for some – for others, as a day to do other things – like there’s a big difference supposedly between a continental european sunday and a london sunday – and that’s all different from the US

i have a few requests out – one for a book to get me in the mood for the world cup – another for alabama football in the fall (did i just say fall??? ooooh, too far away) – anyway, let me know if you have trouble with summer reading

sincerely,
mafeld
