I have been at work for 40 minutes and have already had conversations about a) my immediate reaction to stories about people finding random human teeth (which is consistently "I would absolutely just take that home and keep it") and b) what a trichobezoar is.

So probably today is going to be a day.

Friends, I have a book question. I would like to read some retellings of Arthurian legend. There are...a lot of those out there and I am overwhelmed. Tell me which ones are good?

- I am more interested in works that lean further towards the fantasy side, rather than works that are more "this is a retelling in which Arthur could have been a real historical person dealing with real historical problems". Magic swords and enchanters and Grail quests, yes please.

- I am not particularly interested in "King Arthur, but in modern day!" or "King Arthur has returned in the modern day!" or "Modern people interact with King Arthur!" kinds of stories. (I would possibly accept "King Arthur, but in space!" or "King Arthur, but in the Old West!" or things along those lines, but I would prefer more traditional settings.)

- Books I am already familiar with: The Once and Future King, Mists of Avalon, Gillian Bradshaw's Down the Long Wind trilogy, Mary Stewart's books.

Thank you!
