Day One Hundred and Seventy-Two

The Aeneid by Virgil Page: 483

Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu Page: 695

I don’t know if I should get credit for reading all those pages in Virgil because I just skimmed the 10 or so with the brief glossary. Oh well. Rich and amazing, Virgil has whetted my appetite for Homer. I haven’t ordered copies of The Iliad or The Odyssey yet but I’m looking forward to it. As you can see I picked up Genji again. I’m hoping to get through it this time. I wanted to write a long, witty, interesting post but I’m tired and can’t so just insert verbose wit *here*.
