to expand:

What are the best books ABOUT Greek mythology, history and culture?

I've already read Hesiod, Homer, the Argonautica, the Library, the dramas, and a bunch of poems and fragments. Also in the process of reading Herodotus and the History of the Peloponnesian War.

What are the best modern books to read to put all of this in perspective?

Not looking for philosophical writings at the moment.

Hey /lit/, pls post the funniest of what I read/what I expected/what I got pics. (note: I'm desperately looking for the One Hundred Years of Solitude pic)

all I wanted was to hear some funny stories from /lit/izens fuck

>OP, if you're going to act like this conversation has suddenly turned you to a raging misogynist, let's talk. Because I'm in a PhD program for Japanese literature, and you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.

Why read when watching a movie is easier?
