On March 17th, here's the latest in entertainment and celebrity news. Daniel Rackliffe has shared some of his favorite books lately, with Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles topping the list. It's a fresh take on Homer's Iliad, turning it into a heartfelt love story between Achilles and Patroclus. He mentions skipping the full Iliad before, but this version pulled him right in. After some heavier reads, it felt refreshing to dive back into a book he couldn't put down. Fans love how it captures the epic tale in a compelling way, making ancient myths feel modern and emotional. It's become a huge hit on platforms like Booktalk. Rackliffe also praised the professor and the madman by Simon Winchester. The nonfiction story explores the Oxford English Dictionary's creation through the odd partnership of editor James Murray and contributor William. Jester Miner. He rounded out his picks with How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwarr. It dives into America's history of imperialism and overlooked territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Great choices for anyone hunting fresh
