Moving is hard catchup 1/3!
Quick review on this week's readings:
Mar 18 A New Way To Pay Old Debts by Massinger: 2/5 This is probably a fine play, but without being able to watch it (and with the beginning being a little slow) hard to really comment on.
Mar 19 An Account of Egypt by Herodotus: 2/5 A mostly repeat entry. Herodotus is fine, but poor selection.
Mar 20 Voltaire's Letters on The English: 3/5 This is a great "in the moment" account of a lot of cool science/math/philosophy stuff.
Mar 21 The Aeneid by Virgil: 3/5 Kind of chill, kind of throwing shade. All around not really in the tone we expect for an epic.
Mar 22 Faust by Goethe: 3/5 Faust is decent, but I like Marlowe's version better.
Mar 23 1001 Nights: 2/5 We already established the gimmick in another section, and this is the least interesting story we've read from the Nights so far.
Mar 24 “The Defense of Guenevere” by Morris: 2/5 I'm generally not a bit fan of the Arthuian selections in T5FSOB. Can we get some Pearl Poet or something?
Weekly Average: 2.43 These ratings are a lot harder after 2 or 3 weeks.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
On the readings? Not much. None of them super stood out, although I have been very busy with fixing (and also screwing up) our new house and am doing these a couple weeks late. I've still managed to hit all the dailies though, which says something about the importance and value of manageable daily goals/habits.
