The Odyssey

The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Robert Fitzgerald

I've always had trouble focussing on the Odyssey. I know key points, like the Cylcops and "NoMan" as well as the sirens. However, I have trouble recalling whether I just read it, or have just absorbed it from popular culture. This is the long book about homecoming, with the voyage of the victors being as challenging as the war they just fought. The translation is not too long and is fairly accessible if you can pay attention.
