Reading Options

Narayan's Ramayana: This option from Weeks 3-4 caught my eye because of it is written by one single author, the fact that I can read a hardcopy of the story, and that there is a Reading Guide provided. For me personally, the fact that it is written by one author with one writing style helps me not have to worry about keeping up with different authors and their personal styles of writing. In addition, I would prefer to read the hardcopy of a book more often then an electronic copy just so my eyes will not have to stare at a screen for long periods of time. Lastly, having a Reading Guide will help me keep on task with my reading.

Nina Paley's Sita Sings the Blues: This option from Week 5 caught my eye because it was a free animated movie from YouTube! I think this is extremely cool, unique, and entertaining. Learning about this Indian Epic would be engaging and I think that is exciting. I watched a couple minutes of the video already and I was already intrigued.

Epified TV's Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution: This reading option sounded interesting because it is free on YouTube and it is spread out over three weeks. I already spend an unhealthy amount of hours watching YouTube videos so why not put my time to use and watch these videos?! The time frame was also interesting because it is spread out over three weeks, which could be good or bad depending on time and how our style of completing works look like.
