The fourty-sixth book: #1003 Metamorphoses - Ovid
Here we have an epic work, trying to catalog myths and historical adventures from the beginning of Roman mythology to the day when, or just before, Ovid was writing it. It's an interesting collection, enhanced by me knowing a lot of these stories, but through the nature of the work sometimes focusing on a different aspect - or probably, most of the time, serving as a primary source. Pretty much all of the stories focus on a transformation happening during it, in several different ways, and while I didn't really go looking for it, it worked out well.
Obviously, a lot of the enjoyment that I get now comes from the translation, as that impacts readability. For my money, I suggest a prose adaptation - while the original would have been poetry, forcing a translation into that doesn't necessarily work, and the stories become more readable this way.
