Just finished - [b]Circe[/b] by [b]Madeline Miller[/b] - A follow up to 2011's Song of Achilles, this time a retelling of the Odyssey and some other Greek Myths all the point of view of the goddess Circe. Richer themes, deeper thoughts, and more deft narrative weaving than SoA, but perhaps lacking the same level of emotional pathos. 

Just started - [b]Confessions of a Sinner[/b] by [b]St. Augustine of Hippo[/b] (translated by R.S. Pine-Coffin) - Augustine's account of his sinful youth and conversion to Christianity. Broadly considered to be one of the first autobiographies written by a Western author.
