Just the fact that you have an Arthurian Knight crush, Credo, makes you a friend o' mine!! That's romantic!!
I'm rather fond of Tennyson's "Idylls of the King"--I'm rather fond of Tennyson, period.

Oh, Mallory. I spent quite a lot of time with him last year. I was very fortunate to have a professor who is of a select group of English language scholars that is working at disecting 15th century dialect (have I talked about that here on this forum? I feel like I have). Anyway, I did a small group presentation where we actually read (or rather "acted") some of the original text aloud in class. It's a very interesting time period in the language, because it was well on it's way from becoming Chaucer's Middle English to Shakespeare's Modern English, and all in a span of just about 150 years. Fascinating

I've heard a lot about Sedaris as well. Can you recommend a starting place for his work, Malia?
