Reading the Kalevala for the first time. I'm not sure what I was expecting - probably more Ossian goes to Iceland. I wasn't expecting a wry Scandi Hiawatha. Really enjoying it in the Bosley translation.
My neighbour is a retired dustman with a "colourful" past. He reads crime novels and then gives them to me. They're a varied bunch quality-wise. Michael Connelly was the one that absolutely blew me away. Literary level writing, good plots, and, as a special treat, lots of jazz. I gifted them on to my dad who got similarly obsessed.
