To post…or not to post… September 12, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — Booknotized @ 5:12 pm

I choose to post.

My schedule has been choosing that I not post.

Herein lies the problem. This is as close to reading as I’ve been getting lately:

Blue Bicycle Books - Charleston, SC

Since I began biking to work (take that MTA!), my reading (and review writing) time has been cut in…well, 100th.
Negative side effect of having settled reading and writing into my passive commuter time.

I now have a backlog of reviews to write.

I won’t even begin to think about the books on my shelf that I need to read…

I guess this is my way of apologizing…to myself. Cuz, this thing is for me, really.

Yah! It is. For me, I mean.

So what am I writing this for?

Nevermind all that. I should have just grabbed a post-it.

You’ll just have to think of creative ways to read! Like, in the Greenhouse, with a sandwich.

The Iliad by Homer

Written around the 8th Century BC, this epic Greek poem about the Trojan war has influenced countless classic authors with its tragic and quintessential tale of hubris, love, and war. With hunks like Achilles and Odysseus, hotties like Helen, and powers that be like Ares, Apollo, and Aphrodite, it's no wonder this book is also prime inspriation for today's YA otherworldly writers.
