Homer was a pretty smart ol' guy. I always wanted to be put in a situation where I could use the trick Odysseus used on that silly Polyphemus. I've never had the chance too though. In case you are a bit rusty on your Classics, below you will find some suggested reading. Books are lots of fun. Some might even say that they're "dumptrucks of knowledge[see comic 80]." This summer I'm reading the Count of Monte Cristo. What books are you reading this summer?
