The Odyssey by Homer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My umpteenth read. Hell, I don't even know how many times it's been now, but I can almost recite it verbatim.

That is to say, I really like it.

Indeed, with this particular version, with a couple of hours of commentary before the newly translated text, it is like coming home to a college course. And yes, that IS something I really like.

So, for all ya'll who like a grand adventure in the truly epic style, with the recounting of one of the world's oldest road-trip stories, look no further. And while the new movie isn't quite out yet, I should point out that the text will almost always be better than any adaptation. I'll die on the great man of Ithica's longbow if I lie.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
