I don't like the Iliad ... It's too long and hard to understand

I quite enjoy Homer. The language is really just epic, which is good compared to the cruddy novels of today.

I'm reading A Hero of our time by Lermontov and I must say that I like it... Last week I was reading The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe and I think that it is also a great book, although a bit short.

I've read the whole series. Was kind of forced to by my ex lol...

Jubal

The Iliad now well underway. It's longwinded in parts, but it is pretty kickass IMO.
