José Miguel Pallarés Sanmiguel, Madeline Miller: La canción de Aquiles - Edición especial (Hardcover, Alianza, Alianza Editorial)

This is the story of the seige of Troy from the perspective of Achilles best-friend …

Love Over Action

Miller's beautiful writing brings to life the Achilles and Patroclus love story, but at the expense of the action. I appreciate this given how action packed most stories about Troy are. The Song of Achilles is a great read for anyone who loves Greek Myths and appreciates romance.

Madeline Miller: Circe (AudiobookFormat, 2018)

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a …

Phenomenal

A perfect modernized telling of Greek mythology. While keeping track of the characters may be difficult for someone entirely new to the subject, Circe is a captivating character that keeps you want to read anyways.

Please feel free to do that as this additional curiosity made the story better.

A call to action for the creative class and labor movement to rally against the …

A Powerful Call To Action

While much of the book is devoted to exposing market failures and proposing systemic solutions, there's enough substance to the book to identify changes you can make in your own life to reject the system. It's why I left Goodreads (owned by Amazon) and am now here.
