Personally, this is my favorite translation of the Odyssey I've ever read! Very good, would recommend. It's not the best classic I've ever read, but c'mon it's thousands of years old, cut it some slack.

I also think there's something really magical about reading a story that's lasted throughout the public consciousness this long. It's such a human story, and I loved reading it to see how little humanity has truly changed. It's like we're all running the same race without learning anything from the last lap.
