EKen132 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 I was serious actually... he was from like the mid to late nineteenth century right? The "American dream" guy?Anyhow, I'm now on the Aenied, Fitzgerald translation. I'm not half way done yet, but I'm really liking it. And since I've never heard it before, it's cool to read sort of an epic poem that you never knew existed.Basically the Aenied is the story of how the people of Troy, after the Trojan war, escape their land and sail around for a long time facing tribulations until they eventually settle Italy, and their descendants go on to form the Roman Empire. It was written by Virgil, a Roman, and there's a good chance he made a good part of it up, as the purpose of the piece was Roman nationalism. Anyhow, it's a great story so far.

I also just finished "Birds of Prey" by Wilbur Smith, set in the 17th century during the reign of Charles the Second. Ship battles and swordfights aplenty Another one I read recently and really enjoyed was "The Runaway Jury" by John Grisham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 I'm reading (for about the fourth time) the best book since LotR: A Canticle for Liebowitz by (frank?) Miller. It's about thses monks that preserve humanities knowledge after a nuclear war. Basically it's like the Middle Ages with mutants only better.

EKen132 Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 For AP English we're reading the Canterbury tales. Our teacher said we would be suprised at how raunchy (idk how to spell it, but that's the word) it was, but I had no idea. It's like a medieval version of Ren and Stimpy with more sex.
