I'll make sure to make outlandish connections while discussing the book, so you can comment on something.:D

Then you don't want to know what other accomplishments I've attributed to you.;)

Only three more votes not to read Odyssey, brethren and sisteren!

:D

I spent half a semester studying the Odyssey, to bad my book with all my notes is buried in my mom's basement.

Well then it wll be a refresher. ;)

Please don't forget to pick up your KitKat as soon as you vote for something other than Odyssey!

Well, the forum won't let me vote :( but if I could, I'd probably vote for Tales From A Greek Island. I'm trying to learn more Greek folk dance, and I think it would be interesting to find out more about the people who dance it :)

While I would like to tackle "The Oddysey" I think to venture into areas of Greek Literature not traditionally tread would be interesting. I am leaning toward "And Dreams are Dreams" myself, though unlikely to win the pole. Nevertheless, I will probably pick it up and read it once I am done with the winner.

Going once...

I can't find a synopsis online. What is it about? I read a review, which said the mastery of languge rivals Beckett.:eek:

I would like to point out that those votes cast by members without the required 50 posts will be disregarded.

I did a google search for the books Amazon didn't have a review for. I normally do this anyway, just to get more than one view. A very good, in depth review that made me decide on this book is at the following location:

Going twice...
