Love for reading back

So when I was younger I was a complete book worm and would devour books but as I got older and started playing video games more and going out with pals etc I just stopped reading. The last book I read was tales from the gas station (it's a creepypasta series but genuinely fantastic) a few years ago which was brilliant but that still didn't get me properly back into reading.

Recently however I've had the urge again as I just finished the riddler year one comic and thought now's the time to get back into books after my experience with the comic. My friend recommended the illiad and the Odyssey and I've picked it up and my word it's brilliant. The translation I've got uses the Roman names however, which is a bit jarring but the story itself has kept me reading and I find it amazing that a story that is what thousands of years old? Is still accessible today and is still a great story that rivals modern literature.

So yeah this book has got me properly back into reading (albeit I need to do it small doses just due to the way the story is structured and written) and i am already eyeing my next read- hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy.
