In a second story, we’re on Earth a few thousand years into the future. And there’s Little Green Men setting up Easter head statues along the coastline. …Unless there’s bigger time-space issues than I’ve realized. I have no idea what’s going on with that. Not a re-enactment, it’s the real characters, but I have yet to figure out whether it’s the actual original one or some kind of duplicate taking place in the future. The first is a dead scholar from our time (lived and taught in a college in Indiana, which is a little creepy) who was sort of “reborn” as a ghost-type-thing by the gods (the old Greek ones) to observe the Trojan War. So, there are three different stories going on. It’s very sci-fiy, and also…full of crack. I have finally gotten hooked with Ilium (by Dan Simmons), one of my books for senior sem, which recommended we get an early start on. I make no apologies for my internet slang.īelow are two separate posts I made about Ilium, one from partway in and the other after I’d finished. Though it’s not as colorful as some I recall, you’ll see what I mean about “informal.” It’s always fun to look back a few years and see how your stylistic quirks have evolved.
I looked up what I wrote about Ilium back when I read it for college in 2010, and found it entertaining enough to repost here.
Though I only started this “serious” blog this year, I’ve been more informally journaling my thoughts on books for years.
