[Homer2009-1] Brief Intros

[Josh Kirschner]

Hi,

I'm Josh Kirschner and have been a member of the reading groups for the last
couple of years.  Went through Herodotus and Thucydides, and very much
looking forward to Homer.  This is my first time reading the Odyssey, so I
know I'm in for a treat.

I live in New York City and have three kids, aged 8, 5, and 14 months. In my
free time, I run Techlicious.com, a consumer electronics site targeted to
non-techies that provides information and advice on buying and using
technology. 

Best,

Josh

One more thing,

We may not be using our time well if we introduce ourselves individually at
the beginning of our next conference call.  In exchange, I wouldn't mind
opening our discussion by saying a few words about each participant just to
keep things moving.

If you would like me to quickly say a few words about you during our opening
remarks, would you please send me a few sentences concerning your interests
as they may relate to this reading group?  Why are you drawn to read Homer
in your spare time?  That way we can get to know each other a bit better as
we interact on the conference call.

 

Example:  Andre Stipanovic

I am a Latin teacher who teaches Greek on the side.  I moderate groups like
this for Reading Odyssey, especially the Greek and Roman classics which I
love.  I also lead adult discussion groups that focus on topics from the New
Testament.  After studying copious amounts of European literature, I have
found my preferred area of reading in the ancients.
