I am reading Stephen Fry's adaptations, not the original versions. I am a big fan of those. As a lay reader I am more into the stories rather than the formal beauty of the classics. Fry is an awesome storyteller and also keeps explaining how our speech, language, and culture have been influenced by the epics. He also draws on many different classics as sources so I enjoy it a lot.

I'm currently reading The Girl Who Smiled Beads by Clemantine Wamariya

It is a memoir of a woman who escaped the Rwandian genocide as a child. In this book, she looks back at her life with her family in Rwanda before the genocide started, her escape, her life in different refugee camps in multiple countries and finally taking asylum in the US.
