ACK! I wish I could help you out there, but...I've never read it or anything.
*sigh* ADD seems pretty bad. I think I have it, but I don't know. We never go to the doctor about those kinds of things.
This is prolly a pointless post--mine is, I mean--cuz I can't offer any help. Oh, well. You have my sympathy at least.

"The Illiad"
It's an old Greek story written about the war between Troy and Greece, you know, the story about the Trojan Horse and the hero Achillies, who was unbeatable but had one weekness, his heel (Achillies Heel).
the story is actually very interesting, but if you want a summary just watch the movie TROY......
God Bless,

my schools honors world history had to rad it, thank God I wasn't in Honors. I never want to read the Illiad. I was told by many that it was boring.
Well, keep a positive attitude, and good luck

I actually tried reading the Iliad, but I left it at my uncle's house on vacation. >_>; It's probably still on his couch. Oh well. Cliff notes time!
(p.s.
http://www.gradesaver.com has a good amount of summaries/walkthroughs/analyzations on lots of different books. I find it's best to read a chapter first, then look at the paraphrased version to clear up any confusion. Sounds like more work, but you'll get better comprehension.)

It's a classic! Read it! I know, I'm not helping, but if you can make it through the book, you may just like it. That is if you can separate the fact that you have to read it from the ability to enjoy what you are reading.
Edit: BTW, don't go see the movie "Troy" and expect to use what's in the movie to help you with the class. It won't work and you will surely fail.

Ahh The Iliad! I had to read that my freshman year, I loved it. I don't know why but I did.
I don't know, but I would just go with a positive attitude twards it and it will go faster. That's what I did when I had to read Lord of the Flies twice.
And let me tell you I HATE HATE HATE, Lord of the Flies.
I had to read it my freshman year in high school in College Prep English, then since I switched schools I had to read it again my sophmore year. Arrr. EVIL BOOK! EVIL.
Yeah, well just really look twoards it with a postive attitude and it should go by faster.

Ug, the longest book I've had to read so far was The Scottish Chiefs. It took me a while, but it was alright. -_- I didn't like the end however.
