<p>So we've got to read the Odyssey over the summer, yeah? Are they going to send us a mailer or something giving us a particular version to read? Or can I just go pick any copy up from the bookstore?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You will receive a copy of the Robert Fagles translation in the mail sometime soon.</p>
<p>When our D was a rising Reed freshman Fagles’ Odyssey was the parents’ summer homework; it was a fun and easy read (students read The Illiad way back then).</p>
<p>Cool, thanks for the info.</p>
<p>vonlost: That was before the most recent HUM110 syllabus change, remember.</p>
<p>^ Yes, that’s what I meant; my “way back then” was an exaggeration about how time has flown since our D was a freshman, six short years ago.</p>
<p>Yeah, but teh kidz don’t know that, silly.</p>
<p>Hm… Has anyone received a copy yet? I don’t think I’ve heard anything about summer reading from Reed at all.</p>
<p>I know students who received their copies today (well, yesterday).</p>
<p>Ah, alright.</p>
<p>I got my copy two months ago, together with my visa stuff.</p>
<p>You’ll get it, don’t worry.</p>
<p>Reed was apparently late in sending out all the stuff this year (of all years…), including bookstore pre-order information.</p>
