OK, so I swiped this meme off the internet, and that is remarkably unlike me. However, it seemed to encapsulate what has dominated so much of my break so far - and all my friends' response to it. If I'm ever going to finish this book on the epics I need to get serious, and right now I'm pouring into Virgil's
Aeneid (which is better than I remembered, but still not nearly as good as the
Iliad; oh, I know there are people who think that the
Odyssey is better than the
Iliad, and they are free to hold that opinion, although they're horribly, sadly, fatuously, comically, wrong).

I think most of my friends would be the guy on the far left.
