This Week's Reading

Once again I indulged in a little bit of Lord of the Rings history. I LOVE THAT BOOK!!!! And I love Legolas even more!

For The Odyssey tuners, I think I'll just say that I would kill Homer if he were still alive. He could have saved me and a lot of other people a TON of time if he just let Odysseus get home to Ithaca instead of his idiotic, jealous, and selfish men opening the bag of wind from Aeolus, son of Hippotato (that's what it looked like to me), who lives on the Aeoli island, the king of the winds. And what's up with Odysseus falling onto a "light" sleep and knowing what was going on and still doing nothing about it? How can he hear them and not know what they were talking about and be that slow to still be a favorite of Athena?

*Sigh*

When Odysseus and company went to the Lastrygonians, there was a line "Some god took pity upon my solitude," I was like, "You see, Mr. Frodo...some luck at last!" (for those of you who think this is random and irrevalent, you may want to google it. You need to know the situation in which this quote is said to know its full power in Lord of the Rings.)

Circe is just plain old desperate. All I can say is: WOW.  You can do a lot better than PIGS. Come on, girlie. You're pretty, and a goddess, so you should at least go for a immortal being. Not some crazy Greeks.

The ghosts were weird, though. Homer called them "the wives and daughters of heroes," when really, THEY are the heroes. Anti-feminism is NOT okay with me, even if this was written thousands of years ago!!

And I get the point about the dawn being "rosy-fingered". You don't need to tell me twenty trillion times. It's gettting very redundant.

I just forgot what I was going to write. Maybe I should get more sleep...
I don't like Homer or Telemachus (who is currently missing from the story) and I'm glad that all of Odysseus's idiotic men die. ^^,

"Edward, I love you, [I'm anti-feminist and I'm pretty sure I'm about to die so you should come save mebecause I'm a woman and don't think I can defend myself.]"
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. XD
Better quote: "FINNICK!!!" -Annie
