Wed 5/5/2004 10:10p | I just bought the newest 'Princess Diaries' book (I'm 32 years old. LOL) but haven't had time to read it yet. I just read 'The True and Outstanding Aventures of the Hunt Sisters' a couple of weeks ago.
It's just about time to re-read 'The Stand', 'The Witching Hour' or 'Helter Skelter' again. |

Wed 5/5/2004 10:23p | JenniBarra... Yes, it was interesting that "The Eyre Affair" jumped the sf barrier. Sort of like the Gabaldon "Outlander" series was finally taken out of the sf sections of most bookstores. It certainly wasn't getting enough exposure there.
Yes, I have the next book just needed to read a couple of other styles in between. I think the third is in hardcover and he's working on the fourth. Yay, much to look forward to.

Fri 5/14/2004 3:10p | FaMulan, very cool...even though my favorite gods and goddesses aren't major players in the "Iliad" or "Odyssey", tales are regaled of them and/or references made, so I think it's cool how Homer utilized *many* different entities in those epics in a variety of ways.
And how cool that *Iris* is the main messenger in the "Iliad", and not Hermes...very interesting... |

I've only finished the first chapter (yes, it's a prose translation. We have a verse translation, but my brain's not functioning along those lines right now).
So far I've come across Apollo, Athena, Thetis, Zeus, Hera and Hephaestus. I know the basic story, but have never read the whole thing. I have read the Odyssey during a Mythology course at University. It's been very good so far. |

Fri 5/14/2004 3:51p | Cool, Fa...yeah, Artemis and Dionysus are my 2 BIG fav'rite of each gender (though Homer recognizes Artemis more than Dionysus in these works).
A prose version, huh? Hmmm...I may have to look into that, sounds purty interestin'... |
