My book number 6 of the #2023ReadingList was also inspired by #PoongaBookClub @poongabook. Specifically @chenthil's theme of "Classics. With a twist. any work written before 10th century CE." I read

Kalidasa's Kumarasambhavam: The Origin of the Young God.

I went with Hank Heifetz's translation which includes the controversial 8th canto. I really liked Kalidasa's sensuous imagery.

Highly recommended.
