:D Jan 15: So, riffing off mildred's topic, what Classics works (to be read in English translation) would you recommend to hook someone who doesn't know anything about it? (Aside from the Illiad/Odyssey/Aeneid -- but would also be open to interesting translations of those!) (And especially for someone who preferred the Aeneid to the Illiad and Odyssey?)

And on a different subject, if I can ask two questions, what other canon(s) remind you of Babylon 5? (That's intentionally vague -- feel free to interpret it in any way you like :) ) (If I get to ask two questions, maybe Jan 25 for this one?)
