Reading Options (A)

Well, after looking through the overview of the UnTextbook I've come across quite a few interesting stories! There are a good many different stories to choose from with each of them coming from different parts of the world which I feel is very convenient to have them categorized in that manner. Being able to see the way some stories were told in different parts of the world was something I found fascinating! After browsing around I was able to come up with a few different genres/stories I felt I'd enjoy reading into further:

1. The Voyages of Sindbad - I had always heard a lot about the book The Arabian Nights but never had the chance to look into it myself. I picked this story out in particular because it seemed to provide a good opportunity to experience The Arabian Nights and it was interesting and easy to understand the writer's manner of writing.

2. Dante's Inferno - Similarly to the previous example, I have heard a lot about the  poem the "Divine Comedy" but never had the chance to spend the time to read through bits of it, although I have played the video game. From the bits and pieces I've skimmed so far, this version seems easy to follow and I think I'll enjoy being able to delve deeper into a story I've known of for a long time.

3. More Celtic Fairy Tales - Unlike the previous two examples, I have never knowingly heard any kind of Celtic myth or fairy tale before. I wanted to see what the Celtic section had to offer because I've been able to travel to Ireland so I felt like I had a good idea of the scenery that may have been portrayed in some of these stories.
