ChanteyLass - Arthurian could be a whole separate thread. I have a whole bookcase of King Arthur books, from Penguin copies of Bede and Wace to modern fiction to The Age of Arthur (history) to The Quest for Merlin to the Evolution of Arthurian Romance.

Anne - I agree. I loved Dunnett's Lymond series and the MacBeth book, but could never get into the Niccolo books.
