Emily Wilson's 10 Favorite Books

Bookseller One Grand Books has asked celebrities to name the ten titles they'd take to a desert island, and they've shared the results with Vulture. Below is British classicist Emily Wilson's list. She is the first woman to translate Homer's The Odyssey into English.
"Picking only ten books is impossible! So I decided I would pick ten great books that resonate in different ways with The Odyssey. Most, though not all, are literary responses to Homer's great epic poem."
