It’s all right for kids, I guess. A good introduction to the myth-cycle.

NOT WORTH CONSUMING
I’m loathe to admit I actually read this. Oh my goddess. Oh buggar.
I suppose the shame is lessened by the fact that I was required to do so in my freshman English class of high school.

WORTH CONSUMING!
Fun, anachronistic, goofy, and tragic, all at once. The solid writing and haunting imagery put this fantasy novel head and shouldern above the Lord of the Rings.

WORTH CONSUMING!
This is a sad, beautiful, funny retelling of the Arthurian myth from an anachronistic, modern standpoint. Another of those great books that uses the framework of a well known story or mythos to go well beyond it, and explore ideas, history, and many of the great questions(and wonders) we all encounter in life. The characterization of Lancelot is also one of the most genuine, complex, tragic examples I have ever read.
