The Lusiads was an interesting read, a good yarn about Portugal's history. Then it was Castle Rackrent, which was a bit tiring to read, short but rammed with info.

I was waiting to start the 1010 Challenge, so put my 1001 books on the backburner. I have read The Successor and The Lusiads, both off the new list. They are both interesting reads, I would recommend them. Next up, Castle Rackrent.

The Successor was a good read, Albanian political machinations. Second up was The Lusiads, a book I actually had on my list for the 999 Challenge, which I bumped for something else. It was worth the wait. I am living in Portugal and taking a history course at the uni, so this really fitted ...

... the political world of Albania after the suicide of The Successor. It is on the new list, a worthy addition. Next up - The Lusiads, another book from the 2008 list.

It looks like about half the copies of The Lusiads are in English -- you can more or less see this on the editions page of the work. But I don't know enough of the difference between Spanish and Portuguese to know whether the Portuguese title Os Lusiadas is also the spanish title. So, ...

... Mulisch? Does anyone read Der Schimmelreiter other than as a set book for a German course? How many of the 278 copies of The Lusiads are in Portuguese?

... 20th century, books by Boswell and R.S. Surtees, an American book about Scottish history, and I've just finished reading The Lusiads in translation. But I'm not sure if any of those are out of character, except possibly Surtees (I'm a vegetarian city-dweller)...

Another ocean voyage is that recounted in The Lusiads of Luis Vaz de Camoes, when Vasco da Gama sailed with his crew from Portuagal to India.

Aeneid Odyssey Lusiads Gulliver's Travels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland The Jungle Book Divine Comedy Pilgrim's Progress Wind in the Willows Wonderful Wizard of Oz

For epic poetry, you can add in the Aeneid by Virgil; and the Lusiads of Luís de Camões

... rather than an epic, which sounds right, so maybe that one doesn't belong here. Any "real" Russian epics? I've got the Lusiads on my list as well, and the Kalevala is also going to be a 2008 read. I'm thinking about adding either one of those Chinese epics discussed above and/or the Tain, ...

The epic that most came to mind was that of The Lusiads of Luiz De Camoes. It follows the travels of Vasco da Gama from Portugal around the Cape of Good Hope to India.

... at the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos in Lisbon, along with Vasco da Gama and and the poet of the Portuguese national epic, Os Lusiadas, Luís de Camões. P.S. I second diwan's observation that this is an excellent list!
