On still reading Homer

I'm still reading Homer complete. Though I'm still just in the midst of Book 11 of the Iliad. Still, it is a book that I don't get the feeling I am wasting my time, as in thinking I should be reading something else. The Bible can be a pull no matter what, though, especially when you see a context for it like the Proverbs being knowledge you need for the spiritual journey after death. That sort of makes it of the utmost importance to read NOW. Yet even so Homer still stands up (because it too gives a language for that afterworld journey, as does the Work).
