re: Tell us about a book!!!
I just finished reading The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood, a retelling of the events of Homer’s Odyssey from the now-dead Penelope.
It is a good read and fun, though heavy-handed often. Seems to be for a younger audience, I suppose. The beginning chapter and the last few are the most interesting. The occasional commentary on modern life seems forced and cliche. Overall, interesting, though I think Atwood is capable of better.:tamaatar:
