The Percy Jackson series is something of a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it’s sort of supposed to be for children and teenagers, but- wait a minute, this is my Pokémon blog; I don’t have to justify myself on this. I love the author’s exhaustive use of just about every mythological figure in all of classical literature, and his often hilarious interpretations thereof. As a classicist, reading those books is pretty much one big long stream of “I see what you did there.“
