Presently working through 2 books:

  • The Silmarillion
  • Le Morte D'Arthur volume II

The Silm is a reread, and I'm in the Flight of the Noldor section early on so stuff is about to get real in Alqualonde. Arthur, though, is a first for me, and it's been a fun ride so far. It's really easy to imagine it as a Monty Python sketch in a lot of parts, just with how over-the-top it leans into the pomp and chivalry of being a Knight of the Round Table.
