It’s time again for Carl’s Once Upon a Time Challenge.
I’m going to do Quest the First, which involves reading at least five books in the four categories (fantasy, fairy tale, folk lore and mythology) between 3/21/09 and 6/20/09. I actually wouldn’t mind doing Quest the Second, which is to read one book in each category, but I’m not sure I have the time to scope out books in those categories. I know I have easy access to fantasy, and I have one mythology themed book I’ve been meaning to read for years, but I don’t have fairy tale or folklore books that I haven’t read lying around the house. So I may switch it over to Quest the Second if I happen to fall into such a reading list, but I’m not going to worry about it much if I don’t.
I know I’ll definitely be reading the following:
The Forgotten Beasts of Eld – Patricia A. McKillip
The Nibelungenlied
For the rest, I’ll see what comes to me.
