Really Old Classics Challenge

Challenge: Read 2 Really Old Classics
Status: 0/2

The Iliad, by Homer
The Odyssey, by Homer
Utopia, by Sir Thomas More
The Aeneid, by Virgil

___________________________________________

I really enjoyed the thought of completing this challenge. I think it’s a really excellent idea by Rebecca to get me reading some of those older classics that are the foundation of all literature. However, it just didn’t happen for me this time around. I hope she decides to do it again, because I’ll try harder next time.

I feel your pain – I have yet to complete a challenge.

I really liked Utopia. It was short, and I can’t say it was entertaining, but it was an interesting look at social commentary in the 1500s.

I also absolutely loved The Iliad. One of my favorites of all time.

I will do the challenge again at some point. I haven’t decided yet.
