The Fagles translation was recommended to me by a friend who is a fan of them. I picked up this box set from Amazon about a year ago and have neglected to get around to reading it. It's been far too long since I've revisited some classics, and hit up some that I've never read before. Last time I read Homer was in high school.
My extended list would see some Shakespeare, Chaucer, Sturgeon, Van Vogt, Bester, Dick, and more Neal Stephenson in there.
