Kids had a spirited debate over Odyssey or Chamber of Secrets; clearly, this one won. But Odyssey is next!

Tonight’s discussion: if Uncle Vernon hates Harry so much, why did he try to save him with the shot gun against Hagrid in the first book? Also why does the narrator say Aunt Petunia and the Dursleys have “no magic in them” if Lily was magical?

There’s this killer dramatic irony here that’s making me feel so tense and uncomfortable when I read. I don’t know what the name fit that is - when you read a prequel and know some things are coming and you just keep waiting for them to fall. It’s tough for this empathy demon but am definitely into the book.

Tonight’s discussion: the traditional definition of epic, male-centric plots and heroes, is Troy “real” (bless the historical note!), ancient combat techniques, the dehumanization of war
