Reading for Weeks 9 and 10
I would like to revisit the Ramayana or the Mahabharata for my next readings coming up. I am leaning more towards the Ramayana as it was my favorite of the two epics we have read thus far. I have already watched Sita sings the blues, but I would like to read another version of the Ramayana still. One option I am considering is by Gould, called the Divine Archer. The other story I am considering reading is by Sisodia, called Ravana, Roar of the Demon King. The synopsis is about the background of Ravana and I would like to know more about his childhood. I think it would help me to understand his character more and I think it would be an interesting tie with my knowledge of the PDE version of the Ramayana. The last story I am considering reading is by Devee, called the Ideal Indian Women: Sita, Promila, and Shakuntala. I think it will be neat to see the perspective of the stories from the different wives point of view. In addition, it mentions how the Mahabharata will tie in with Shakuntala. Thanks for reading.

Hi Tyler! I am glad you want to learn more about the Ramayana. The graphic novels and comic books in the Library are fabulous... and there is also a really detailed translation here: Krishna Dharma's Ramayana, where you can pick whatever part(s) interest you most! It's free to read online, and it's a modern translation, very readable!
