Let us look at foundational Western literature, epic storytelling, and the experience of reading classic poetry with absolute candour. You promise yourself at the start of the season that you will dive into the bedrock stories of human civilization, understand ancient Greek myths beyond modern pop culture adaptations, and build a timeless home library.
