Yes, they're very modern, but that's precisely why they suck. They were written so teenagers could relate to Homer but they don't give the feel of Homeric language or cadence. You'd be better rewarded reading the Richmond Lattimore translations. Good list though. The Lombardo translations of the The Odyssey and The Illiad suck.

I know you are afraid of change." from the end of the movie as Neo narrates. oh, and love your inclusion of Solaris on the list. even the Soderbergh version is really thought provoking. ah, the list from Gender Gap. jeez, Jane Austen is the mother of all modern romantic comedy, and more poetry please, say, oh, Emily Dickinson.
