This was my first go reading the Odyssey not for school purposes. I maintain that it's very easily still a 5 star read. This time around i listened to it with Sir Ian Mckellen. This was a fantastic choice.
It's basically Odysseus and the long bloody way home. All the while his wife's suitors are throwing the equivalent of a frat party. Odysseus meanwhile is fighting off monsters and wronging gods. Making his journey back to his home incredibly eventful. If you haven't read this classic I highly recommend giving this audio edition a go.
