My English class just couldn't simply enjoy reading the book, no. We had to do study guides for each book, a project, and a d@mn essay which takes all the enjoyment out of reading it. No one person in my class had anything good to say about the book when we were finished which is really sad. All these classics being destroyed by schools with their crappy "add ons" in addition to reading. Why we couldn't simply read the book and talk about it in class, I don't know? I'm a good reader and have acute reading comprehension skills so all the extra crap was just busy work for me. I think after the first three books I just stopped doing the study guides  Anyway, I'm sorry if you misinterpreted my statement. I do like the Odyssey.
