The Song of achilles was recommented for a Buddy read… soo here we go

hii

pls explain to me how this will work, i have no clue, never done it before

Ive also never done it before. But i think it is just That we are Reading the book at the Same time or a similar Time and discuss some topics or passages while reading…

what do you think about it? or would you do it in another way?

no thats fine, do we read up til a certain part?

i dont know if that would be smart. Maybe we have a different Reading tempo

okayy well ill ive read a few pages and will carry on tomorrow, dont know how much i can read with school tho

okay Same Situation here. Right now i am still reading another book and dont know how far i will come.

I think about starting the Song of achilles hopefully before next sunday…

maybe then we can update on the first pages or how gar we have come till then

okay thats fine, i think ill read another book and start song of achilles end of this week or beginning of next

That seems good then we can update each other and talk/discuss about aspects

buut dont feel to need to read now another book First because of me 🫤

no no its fine, i enjoy reading as much as i can with all the school work i get

okay great :))
then i will keep you updated

How gar have you read?

only the first few pages so far

Sooo i starten the song of achilles today and i got Till page 77

Let me know how you want to continue :))

continue lol

thats fine ill read some more of where i left off before tomorrow

okay so ive read until around chapter 5 todat

today

okay cool!
What is your opinion about it?

im actually really enjoying it, im on pg 112

I thought itd be hard to read bc its greek mythology and im not too big on that, but its rlly easy to read

what about you?

Honestly the Same. In the beginning i had the urge to do like a character List or a family tree to get along with all the characters but its getting easier hahah

And i also kind of love how they got along with like how they startend to get to know wach other.

Moreover i think the Time Turns are Chosen very well (so like when its 1 year later or so) That makes Reading easier

when they first started off as friends was the cutest

i acc really love how much they care for each other

yeah omg. I Love how they Kind of grew into caring for each other and of course how they Express their Love and caring for each other its sooo cute

i can barely imagine how intense it had to be for them

i mean the growing up hahah.

But i am really excited in how it goes ob when achilles goes to fight. and patroclus oath,… (just read Till p.112)

oml yes im very excited to see how their relationship will get once he goes to war
and what will happen with achilles' mum, i have mixed feelings ab her

im just over halfway thru btw

yeah achilles mum. There i am really excited too…

im on the part where the war is jist beginning and its getting rlly exciting

oh well… i havent read further than Page 112 im Lettin you know when i have read more

thats okay, i haven't read at all today

Hey here :))
soo today i have read Till Page 154 (Chapter fifteen) and even though it ends really exciting i have to come for an end for taday :/

So as an non-englisch-speaker but englisch-reader this Book is sometimes quite confusing and to me it feels like I dont really understand everything.

For example why patroclus had to sleep with deidameia (the Woman pregnant with achilles Baby)even when she already thought That he would not bring her what she wanted…

Moreover i think i Lost Track of Most the names. For me its quite confusing.

Still…. I really enjoy the Journey of achilles and patroclus. I am so pleased by how they Stick to each other and are inseperable. Like how they Desiree each other and cant without the other <3

I mean patroclus gave (once again a lot of things up) to be with achilles

i really didnt like that part where he slept with the woman achilles got preganant, i just found that quite weird

yesss i forget half the names, i only remember achilles patroclus theris and chiron

patroclus is probably my favourite charcater i love him so much hes just so kind and selfless

if u dont mind me asking, where are u from and whats your first language

Omg yesss! Patroclus is just pure
He has my heart
Maybe one of my favorite characters at all

I am from Germany so german is my First Language but i like Reading in englisch hahah

i love him, achilles, i dont know enturely why yet, but his charcater i think goes downhill. he strikes me as a little selfish

thats so cool, ive always wanted to go germany, so can u speak fluent english too?

Yeah to both That achilles goes selfish
And That i can speak fluent englisch
i mean maybe Not fluent but we learn it in school Quote like our first Language german so a lot learning in school and through things like this

ohh thats so fun, i have so much respect for people who can speak more than 1 language

Heyo. If you dont mind me asking how far are you rn? Cause i am in exam Stress at school right now and dont really get any further und reading… so i feel kinda bad

soo i have read now till page 204 Thats chapter 20
