Wicked title for a blog post, I know (it means nothing). So here’s an updated list of all the books I gotta track down and read. A few weeks back I mentioned how I wanted to read up on the Arthurian legends. To that I’ve added a few medieval tomes (research for cultural/technical accuracy in manuscript). And a few other books to top it off. So here’s the list so far:
- Throne of Jade, by Naomi Novik (currently reading on Nook app)
- Idylls of the King, by Lord Tennyson (found free on iBooks)
- The Once and Future King, by T. H. White (still trying to find a good copy. No e-reader version it seems)
- Death and Memory in Early Medieval Britain, by Howard Williams (trying to find a library copy)
- Medieval Warfare, by Helen J. Nicholson (think its on Kindle)
- Blood Angel, by Justine Musk (I follow her blog. Figured I should read one of her books)
I think I’ll also have to pick up something about traditional folklore and legends of the British Isles and Europe. I know what you’re wondering, how could I possibly read all these books in a reasonable span of time? Well, for most people (with social lives) it would be difficult, but the beauty of a driven creative is that I can find ample free time. And I got locks on my bedroom door.
