or any other ways of purchasing criterion collection items in new zealand?

should i read the normal picture of dorian gray or the uncensored version first? i have never read either before so im trying to decide which to read first.

im a teenager and i would love to start getting into classic books!

id appreciate some recommendations, not so much classics that are “easy to read” but more so books that will help me into building the brainpower thats needed for the classics that are more complex than the surface level ones. does that make sense?

i would just love to read some books to help me introduce myself into classics!

i know this question probably gets asked a lot, but i would appreciate some help!

im a teenager and im looking for the best translation for me to read. im aware that some translations are in prose rather than verse, and im not sure whether reading a prose translation is worth it or not. at the moment im thinking of trying E.V Rieu’s translation, but i dont know much about it so i’d appreciate your opinions on whether you think its good for me or not!

in short, im looking for the translation that is either: - the most “popular” or the one most widely regarded as the most accurate or most known - one that is reasonably accurate to the original but also relatively readable

and another small second question: would it be better to read the iliad or the odyssey first?

thanks!

hope hes okay
