i don’t have an emotional attachment to these characters, probably because of the brisk writing style. i’ve also skimmed ahead and i’m not sure the ending will satisfy me. i definitely won’t cry. sigh. i really thought it was a tearjerker. maybe if i wasn’t reading so much.

i’m on page 186/369 so ~just~ over halfway. i don’t think this book will make me cry, which is sad because i’m so easy, but it does make me want to read the iliad. the writing is very staccato and the author is clearly very knowledgeable. it’s just not a style or subject i enjoy

on page 110/369 (i rounded up). this copy has 400 pages but the rest are bonus material and i’m not counting that toward my total. was surprised that achilles was the main character but that was my dumb bitchery. happy i picked up early on the gay (like page 5!). i know achilles death is gonna piss me off though
