- Please finish reading Books 1, 2, 3, and 4 of The Odyssey for Monday the 21st. Remember: reading out loud will most likely be of GREAT HELP to you. Get together with classmembers and read aloud together. BONUS: If you do this in public, passers-by will think you're super duper smart. Also due on Monday is the chart of characters (if you weren't in class on the 17th, please call someone for the chart headings; you can access an online text at http://classics.mit.edu/Homer/odyssey.html until you see me for your book copy).
