It seemed like the most concise and appropriate comparison that I can think off without resorting to my usual ridiculous metaphors :D
After all, the Odyssey is a sequel to the Iliad, written by (supposedly) the same set of hands, but has a very different feel when compared to its predecessor.
I didn't take Classical Studies (because, y'know, ME ASIAN, WE NO HAVE THAT SORT OF THING), but I've grown up chewing on a good percentage of the books that were on the St John's college Great Books programme. My father was a cerebral sort of fellow, and I've apparently inherited that propensity for picking dry doorstoppers as "casual reading" :D
