It was a hard read. I liked it, and could appreciate it for how difficult it must have been or how much skill it must have taken to be able to write in that particular type of poetry and rhyming scheme. And how difficult it must have been to translate it! I listened to it on Librivox recordings and I found it much more difficult to follow what was going on when there was too much emphasis given on the rhymed words at the end of phrases, whereas, others who read tried to read it as naturally as it would of sounded in conversation. I imagine this might make a difference if you're reading it in ink as well, the voice in your head, of course! :-) I think perhaps in the future I'd like to read a prose translation. 
 I have to say I was mostly interested in the historic aspect, and was keenly focused on understanding what the culture and societies' beliefs and customs must have been like as represented by Virgles writing. From this aspect, though, it's a little difficult to know how much is being added or taken away because of the translation. 
 Anyway, it was a worthwhile read, and I can tell why it has stood the test of time for more reasons that just it's antiquity! 
 A couple of parts I thought were interesting in book VI were how the idea of reincarnation was introduced. I wonder if Virgil had been influenced by an of the eastern religions that believed in this. I was also interested in seeing how Aneas had sent off a couple of doves to retrive a branch of a tree. This made me wonder if it wasn't some how influenced by the story of Noah in the Pentateuch?
