I've started reading the national epic of Finland, the Kalevala. It's an epic poem, which has made me more than a little bit hesitant to read it. Getting started with it, I'm only at the fourth runo - "the fate of Aino", I've found it not at all difficult and even a pleasure to read...! :)
I'm looking forward to get to know the only slightly familiar characters of the Kalevala more. :) This epic poem has been, and is, an important cultural inspiration for the Finns and it's an interesting way of getting a bit more "in tune" with my Finnish roots.

Oooo! You'll have to let me know what you think of it when you finish. I've thought of reading it myself :D
