Introduction



Hello. My name is Daniel (no further personal information forthcoming, sorry). I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy books and movies (nerdy I know) and listening to classic rock (The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc.). I also love playing baseball, and basketball and football are pretty fun too. I don't watch much TV honestly, but I do my fair share of internet surfing and video game playing. I’m writing this blog for school and the first thing I have to write about is how I feel about our upcoming book project: The Odyssey.

I have to admit, I’m a little curious about the book. I’ve always been somewhat interested in Greek mythology, and I read a little bit of the Iliad and actually kind of liked it. At the same time, I don’t expect it to be all that exciting to the modern reader. I always hated reading Shakespeare in middle school. So I’m divided over wanting to read it and being nervous about it. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
