John Irby Hi all. I read Homer's The Odyssey in 10 minute segments out loud to my 9th graders, 14 and 15, each year for 30 years. I didn't memorize it, but I knew it like the back of my hand. I would put it near the top of my top 10 all-time "Best" novels, along with Hugo's Les Miserables, Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, Orwell's Animal Farm and Tolkien's The Hobbit. That's all I know about that stuff. Stay strong. Buy books and bikes for your kids, not cell phones and headphones. John
