I’m returning to An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic by Daniel Mendelsohn. I started this book last month in preparation for an event with the author at Landmark Booksellers and Dr. Mendelsohn’s new translation of the Odyssey. I didn’t finish this book and am doing so now. It love it. He relates interesting ideas about Homer’s Odyssey while also telling the story of his father, who audited a course of his on the epic. It’s funny, brilliantly written, and highly educational.

Started book 22 for the year this morning, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. This is the book for July’s Short Great Books reading group (dm me if you’d like to join our Zoom call next Wednesday). I first read this book in August 2002 and it has stuck with me since then. I can’t wait to reread it.
