I am seriously considering joining Carl V.'s spring reading challenge, Once Upon A Time. There are actually several options in this challenge, but the most appealing to me is "Quest 3" which entails reading one book each of mythology, folklore, fairy tale, and fantasy, and finishing with a June reading of A Midsummer Night's Dream. If I were to take up this challenge, this is what I would read, in addition to the Shakespeare:
- Mythology: Classical Mythology (yes, nonfiction is allowed!)
- Folklore: Stories from Mexico (my peeps!)
- Fairy Tale: The Princess Bride (Oh my sweet Wesley!)
Fantasy:The Dedalus Book of British Fantasy(if I can lay my hands on a copy...)
UPDATE: Since the Dedalus book is out of print and expensive, I've decided to re-read The Lord of the Rings, using this as an opportunity to finally buy a decent hardcover edition. Let the quest begin!
A note about the image: Carl invited people to come up with their own graphic using his background, and the above is my contribution. If you'd like a downsized version, drop me a line.
