Ohhhh, The Mists of Avalon, WE MEET AGAIN. My history with that book is long and complicated. I tried to read it in like, fifth grade at the beginning of my Arthurian legend infatuation. No luck. Tried to read it in eighth grade at the peak of my Arthurian legend infatuation. Got 100 pages in and bailed. Tried to read it again at the beginning of 9th grade and couldn't even be compelled to open the book after I checked it out from the library.
And I feel really terrible about all this because EVERYONE I KNOW ADORES IT. IS THERE SOMETHING FUNCTIONALLY WRONG WITH ME THAT I DIDN'T FIND IT INTERESTING? I mean, I totally dig The Once And Future King once I get past the mindnumbing Arthur-as-various-animals part! I CAN TOTALLY DO RENOWNED ARTHURIAN LITERATURE.
IDK WHATEVER, let's get onto the infinitely more fun shag, cliff, or marry times!
