An Iliad
Danny Says
Sticking to Classics, I sped read this alternate version of Homer’s The Iliad. I think this book would make a great supplement for high school students reading Homer’s original. Baricco is one of the most talented writers I have read for the past ten years, and I highly encourage you to pick up any of his works, beginning with his debut Silk. Trust me: if you read Baricco, you will be more intelligent because of it.
