I never realized how multicultural my education was. I read a good chunk of the Ramayana in high school.

I didn't enjoy it, of course, because it was something I had to read for school. I should try to find a decent translation* and read it again sometime. But I say that about a bunch of half-remembered myth cycles; someday I should find a good rendition of the Eddas to expand upon the book of Norse myth I had as a kid; someday I should sit down and read Homer for myself...

* something akin to Seamus Heany's rolling, flowing, and nicely-footnoted version of Beowulf would be ideal
