i bought this book out of impulse online. i was intimidated at first– thinking it would be the same as about ten years ago when i was a mere fifth grader trying to understand ancient poesy. fortunately, i was able to read it quite well. i've been enjoying my reading sessions with this book so far. i didn't expect myself to make this much progress in a span of five days! my only regret is that i hadn't started annotating and taking notes up until book five. i feel that i could've had more insight to pick up since the very first chapter. anyhoo, i'm enjoying this book a lot!
