Read at least half of the Confessions by Augustine.

This is a shorter book than The Odyssey, so depending on your reading speed should take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours to read the entire book, however, it is more theological than The Odyssey. As Augustine tells his story, he weaves in many Biblical verses and perspective.

Just so you know, this is often a favorite book for many students. Augustine carefully shares his personal life, and many people (myself included) find we have a lot in common with Augustine.
