More on the Concept of Active Reading

Yes, active reading is quite a hassle. It is something I am very passionate on not doing. Well, yes, I am doing it because I have to but no, I do not like it. At all. At the beginning of The Odyssey, it actually helped me comprehend the book much better. It helped me understand the characters and the roles they play. But since I now know who everyone is and what their stories are, active reading is becoming somewhat of a drag. It does not help my understanding and it does not make me like the book any more than I do now. Don't get me wrong, I love the book just not the active reading. Oh well, I guess it's one of those things that may not benifit me now but it may come back to me in the future. I guess I just have to suck it up and get used to it.
