Your thoughts on the Iliad are helpful. I was planning on reading the Wilson translation. If my expectations are realistic I am more likely to persevere!
I love your outdoor reading place! It's amusing when I hear the names Goncharov and Dostoevsky together; it reminds me of Dostoevsky's acute unpleasantness to Goncharov. I am very glad that interest in Classic Russian literature is so big.

Glad my comments were helpful. Maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did. The Wilson translation is very good!
