I read the Aeneid in 7th form during my Economics classes (I got the school prize for Classic's that year). I haven't read it since then, but I do fondly remember ignoring the teacher (who was a lovely person) to concentrate on Aeneas and his shenanigans. It reminded me a bit of Battlestar Galactica in some respect. But I loved the continuity of the Trojan war from the Trojan perspective.
This is very funny, its the Aeneid as a Facebook profile (LINK). Well perhaps its funny if you're a super nerd who read Virgil when he should have been reading Milton Keynes.
Perhaps there are other books to be treated in the same manner? Moby Dick? Wuthering Heights?
