I don't really know what it means to rate this book? It's excellent, and a classic, and inestimably important to our cultural heritage etc etc etc, but it's so far removed in history that I don't know what to make of it as a "book" in the goodreads sense.

well, it was better than the iliad, but that's like saying, "i sure like being constipated vs. having diarrhea!" perhaps that simile was unnecessary, but there's nothing like a fecal reference to get your point across nice and smooth. ha.

loooooved it.
