@isaacgreene I have this same copy, which was my mother’s (complete with her annotations from college) and is especially meaningful since she died shortly after I finished college. It was my introduction to the Odyssey, which I’ve since reread (and probably preferred) in the Wilson translation.
@ayjay I’m also very excited for this. Your “Patience” essay was one of the best things I read on A Hidden Life so I look forward to much more.
@isaacgreene reading this to my sons (12 and 9) right now! We just arrived at CENTRAL Central Intelligence.
Our youngest was just introduced and read all of the them (and I read Witches and BFG aloud to him) over the last few weeks. Except for Boy, which he thought might be too different/boring. @johnbrady do you recommend it?
@bethanyh I had that same thought . . . almost added “Replace ‘students’ with ‘children,’ and ‘classroom’ with ‘home,’ and it hits even harder.
