Some stuff
My brother asked me to recommend him a manga. I told him to read Claymore. :D And I totally need to get up to date with it. :/
Also, due peer presure, I began reading The Acts of King Arthur And His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck.
One very interesting thing, is that the translation is titled Los hechos del rey Arturo y sus nobles caballeros, because the word 'act' means that something is happening or that something is being done, while 'hechos' implies that those things already happened or were already done, thus making the Spanish one sound more passive than the original in English.
There's also the fact that it seems that everything that goes bad for Arthur (practically, everything in his life, sob) comes from him having sleep with Morgawse, even though he didn't know she was his half-sister at the time. Yet, there was some malice there because they both were already married.
...And then Guinevere is the one taking the heat for her affair with Lancelot. Talking about dobule standards. (I haven't reach that part yet; the Lancelot chapter is the last one in the book, but this is how the stories go, so...)
Someone should write something where Igraine is a more active character. :////
One last thing: because I'm shameless, I bought Dragons and Dragon Lore by Ernest Ingersoll. =DDDD
