  I’m disappointed in myself that I have not yet read the four that I planned for this challenge. I just read Gilgamesh (review here:
  http://blog.chainreader.com/2009/07/hiatus.html,
  but be forewarned, it’s brief and part of a list of reviews.
  I ordered an illustrated copy of Beowulf that I’m excited to get to, but probably post July.
  Thanks for hosting such a great challenge. I’m definitely motivated to read more ancient classics.

  Shelley, we all do what we can! I’m glad you got a few done, and I hope you enjoy Beowulf.
