Homer's Odyssey Winter 2010 - moderated by Pat Wictor

Winter 2010 Homer's Odyssey - Free phone-based reading group
Tuesdays January 12, February 9, March 9 at 8pm ET
Moderator: Pat Wictor 

In the winter of 2010, we'll run another phone-based Homer reading group for those who would like the Reading Odyssey reading experience of this great epic. Special thanks to Reading Odyssey sponsors Citrix Online and their HiDefConferencing division.

Moderated by the wonderful Pat Wictor, the reading group will meet Tuesdays Jan 12, Feb 9 and March 9 at 8pm ET, 5pm Pacific via phone. The conference call number will be supplied to all who register.

Pat will use the custom Reading Odyssey method to make it a good experience and help first-time readers engage the text.

Reading Odyssey Process

- readers will read a section of the Odyssey each month assigned by Pat with reading questions
- then get on the phone to discuss the reading (and the reading questions assigned by Pat)
- each phone call is recorded and the .mp3 is made available to the readers who missed it
- Pat is also available via e-mail during the month to answer questions - and members are encouraged to use the group e-mail listserv and blog to discuss the reading

Edition?

We'll be using the Stanley Lombardo translation. It's available at Amazon or can be borrowed through your local library using the Reading Odyssey website directory of U.S. libraries - http://borrowabook.org.

Reading Odyssey

Reading Odyssey is a nonprofit dedicated to helping adults reengage their intellectual curiosity through reading and discussing some of the best books and ideas.

The Reading Odyssey is sponsored by Citrix Online, their teleconferencing division, HiDefConferencing, and Constant Contact.

Reading Odyssey is always looking for additional help from sponsors or volunteers.

Our advisors include Paul Cartledge at Cambridge University and New York University, John Dowling at Harvard University, John Marincola at Florida State University, Barry Schwartz at Swarthmore College and Robert Strassler, an independent scholar.
