Hey, I'm only a month behind now!
Quick review on this week's readings:
Dec 2 Le Morte d'Arthur by Mallory: 3/5 Chivalric tongue lashings!
Dec 3 Buddhist Writings: 3/5 The way they pick the Buddha is questionable, but I learned things and practiced math.
Dec 4 The Aeneid by Virgil: 2/5 It's a lot easier to read the random excerpts of stories I've already read.
Dec 5 Poems by Rossetti: 3/5 She's like a better Emily Dickinson.
Dec 6 Essays by Addison: 0/5 It's like he had a philosophical dialogue with himself.
Dec 7 Cicero by Plutarch: 2/5 Stop giving me an excerpt of a half of a pair with no context, Eliot.
Dec 8 "Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow" by Quincey: 3/5 Just inventing new triple goddesses for fun.
Average: 2.57 Addison ruins it for everyone.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
We're getting recent enough that I actually remember some of the readings reasonably well! This week didn't really stand out. The Lives are usually kinda meh, but I blame the formatting. I think the one that stood out to me the most was the Buddhist writings, since I had to sit down and do math while I read it. A literal interaction in your literature can be fun.
