It was so quiet, one of the killers would later say, you could almost hear the sound of ice rattling in cocktail shakers in homes way down the canyon.

Tell me, Muse, of that man, so ready at need, who wandered far and wide, after he sacked the sacred citadel of Troy, and many were the men whose towns he saw and whose mind he learnt, yea, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the deep, striving to win his own life and the return of his company.
The Odyssey - Homer. I have been reading this book for 2 months, and it is soooo long and boring!

Imagination without reason is mere fancy, but reason without imagination is sterile.

well obv. i have not been reading it continuously! that would make me the slowest reader ever! I read like a chapter, and then abandon the book for a week because i don't care about the story. then i tell myself i ought to finish it, and go read another chapter etc., It's not that the plot is boring, its just that i already know the story, so reading the book isn't all "ooo what is going to happen next?".

lol, yeah i guess that's a pretty big deterrent to wanting to read a book. i knew the basic outline via my dad and oh brother where art thou, but i still wanted to read it. i'm pretty into ancient stories though. i might re-read my sophocles plays after i'm done with the iliad. i quite enjoy how descriptive of violence homer is, but perhaps my wiki'ing of serial killers is having an affect on me.
