Third time's a charm? I was familiar with the story of The Odyssey from childhood retellings; I first "read" it in college (skimming was involved). I read it again (for real, this time) in 2018 and found it intolerably boring. This third time is inspired by the Zero to Well-Read inaugural read-along. I'm reading the Emily Wilson translation, which seems a lot fresher and newer than what I've previously read.
