Day #24 of the 30 Day Book Challenge

The prompt is A book you were supposed to read in school but didn't

Rest of the meme is HERE

Hmm..I've either lost count or the person who did this meme did? It looks longer than it should be. I'm guessing I did. But who knows?

A book I was supposed to read in school but didn't. First of all - school was a VERY long time ago - I don't remember most of it.

Ah, I am going to go with two books for a Myth and Meaning Course I took in undergrad - that I somehow managed to avoid reading.

1. The Odyssey by Homer

and

2. Til We Have Faces by CS Lewis

I managed to bluff that I'd read them, when I hadn't. I read a portion, gave up, and bluffed.

Rather than evil I'd say she was kind of in a bind. I must have contributed well to discussions before on Canterbury Tales and whatever else we'd read before we got to Pilgrim's Progress. I got an A in the class, and she didn't do it to embarrass me. I was shocked that she'd chosen me, but also more than a little flattered. If I'd read the book and shown up, who knows how it would have gone, but I'd have tried. She couldn't know any more than I could predict that of all those older English works that a lot of kids have trouble with that Pilgirm's Progess would be the one I'd crap out on!
