The Odyssey:Book 1

As I started to reading book 1, I, unfortunately, found myself zoning out. The words were just bobbling around the pages and I had to keep reading the same sections over about three times. I found that it was boring me. I read all of book 1 through once with no stopping and no side notes. This was not a very great way to read this book. It's so deep and in-depth that it's almost impossible to read it all the way through. I found that I had to stop after every paragraph, go back and re-read it, and make sense of what the paragraph was implying and how it was a factor in the whole story. I did this the entire time the second time I read through it and I discovered that it helped, a lot. I could understand and comprehend what the text meant when I went back. The book was also much more enjoyable. I actually liked reading it and I felt like once I understood it, I could enjoy it. It was a great read and I honestly can't wait to finish the rest of the book in the upcoming weeks.
