The Song of Achilles

I really don't know if I liked this more or less than Circe. Miller has a way of reinvigorating stories with a layer of modern philosophy that weaves seamlessly with classic mythos. I've had this on my to-read shelf for ages and am very glad I finally got around to reading it. Patroclus' tale is a frequently overlooked and downplayed part of the Iliad, and it is refreshing to see it get a serious treatment (I'm looking at you, stupid Troy movie). If you have any interest at all in the Iliad, you should read this and probably everything Madeline Miller writes ever.
