@TanteGulo@snabelen.no ja! Jeg kvekker og ler! "Med sin kvinnelige logikk tok Astid Sahari tak med begge hender i den strømførende kraftledningen. Det skapte en enorm lysbue: Kjerringstakkaren ble først bresert som en roastbiff, deretter mørnet som et langtidsstekt lammelår, og til slutt ble hun seig og hard som en grillribbe."

Back to the Discworld!

Fikk endelig bestilt opp en liten bunke med bøker fra The Discworld Emporium igjen, så da har jeg litt å kose meg med.

After having dragged myself through Mythos (all those names, places, origin stories, bits and pieces that lay the foundations of the Greek myths can be quite overwhelming, even in the friendly tones of Stephen Fry) and fought my way through Troy (fate would have it that I wound up reading Troy before Heroes - in retrospect I'd suggest doing it the other way around), I found Heroes and now The Odyssey much easier reads, and Stephen Fry's retelling of The Odyssey was a real page turner. I read another, older version a little under a year ago, and while it wasn't bad, I found it a much harder read than this. I also like how he ends the book, and how he draws the lines between poets like Homer and modern day generative AI, and how he points out the importance of The Odyssey even in modern literature, theatre and movies.

Stephen Fry's Odyssey is by far the easiest read in the series, and a brilliant end to Fry's retelling of the Greek myths.
