r/Recommend_A_Book

i've been looking to read the iliad and odyssey for a long time and now since the movie ive decided to finally start reading. but i want an edition with really good and extensive translation notes. does anyone know what to reccomend?

I’m a 30 year old guy and not a reader. I would really like to start reading and don’t no where to start. I’ve listened to red rising, and a bunch of auto biographies I feel like my taste is all over the place. I don’t know what I’m looking for or where to even start. If anyone has any easy reads that they feel are a must please share!
