Fantastic! I read the Iliad a few years ago, and just got round to reading the Odyssey while on holiday last week. I'm still amazed by how readable and downright enjoyable something written ~2700 years ago can be. I think what I really liked about the writing style of Homer is how he conveys human emotions and personalities. In fact sometimes the raw emotion can seem over the top: I'm not sure what is done more in the Odyssey, eating and drinking, or crying. Read the Iliad and the Odyssey if you get the chance, they are surprisingly accessible and fun!
