Week 5: Reading Feedback
This week marked the beginning of the Mahabharata. I thought this week's reading started out a little bit rough. I felt like I was getting so much information and background of the characters that I need to make a little map and note who was who so I wouldn't get lost. I had to go back and re-read certain sections a couple of times. So far I like the story, but it does not feel like it flows as well as the Ramayana did. I was excited to read the Ramayana, and was never bored or confused. I feel like so far this reading is a little more detailed and challenging, but I am hoping I will get more into it this coming week.

I felt the exact same way when I started reading the Mahabharata. I was really looking forward to it after reading the Ramayana, which I also thought flowed really well and was easy to follow. I read the Mahabharata and I still feel like I know nothing about the stories. There was just too many people and too many things going on!
