Ramayana

The Ramayana is probably the most difficult text so far, in that it's origins lie in the East, and isn't a traditional western tale, and uses a number of terms that obviously don't have easy English translations. Despite this, the actual narrative is fairly intriguing, featuring a pantheon that was new and fresh to me, as well as the actual tale. Rama seemed to be flawed as a person, but as a leader single handedly won the hearts and the minds of all his populace. Despite the difficulties with comprehending the text itself, the story was well told enough for me to enjoy it.
