The Song of Achilles by Madeline MillerRecommended by Katie, UT staff​: The Song of Achilles is a beautiful retelling on the myth of Achilles. When you are reading Miller's writing, it harkens back to the lilting cadence of the original epic poems while remaining engaging and approachable to all. And her portrayal of the love story between Achilles and Patroclus is the best I have ever seen. 1000% would recommend.
