I had almost settled on The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe, but your thoughts on this book are making me reconsider. Maybe this would be a good year-long project? <br />I'm hugely interested in this subject but it always feels a bit overwhelming. Perhaps it would be beneficial to move through it slowly over the course of a year. <br />Any thoughts? <br /><br />Thanks for this review.

Of course, I promptly ignored him, and figured that I'd never need to understand any of that 'musty' old stuff. Thanks for stopping by and visiting! Cheers!

My dad got me D'Aulaires book of Greek Myths when I was little, insisting that I had to be familiar with them in order to understand literature (He was a former English/Journalism student. Does it show?) but it's probably time for me to graduate to a more mature book of Greek myths.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-69052052790131587662011-10-03T13:55:51.832-07:002011-10-03T13:55:51.832-07:00I have this book on my shelf and I have to agree t...I have this book on my shelf and I have to agree that it is a great resource for Greek mythology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
