He's doing A Children's Bible next. Might skip that to keep going with Lonesome Dove. EDIT: Lol I was not expecting Jeselnik to get choked up talking about the end of the novel. Caught me off guard, even though he dropped the old facade years ago.
Finished actually reading The Odyssey yesterday. It was worth it. I don’t think I can make it through The Iliad though.
idk which translation of The Odyssey you read but I thought that Emily Wilson's version of the Iliad was really readable! there's lots of great videos of her reading it too

Peter Green. I bought the boxset after hearing an interview with him about it. His approach sounded compelling to me.
