Graywacke @dabbe ok. I had to google the emoji. I kept seeing 🎥, not hugs. Thanks! 🙏 4d

Graywacke @Ruthiella Good morrow 🙂 4d

Graywacke @CindyMyLifeIsLit i‘m actually in Cypress! And my wife teaches as a cy-fair ISD high school. So there is a chance you have come across her. 🙂 (i obviously don‘t know what high schools you work at, or even if they‘re cy-fair.) 4d

dabbe @Graywacke Not only did I have to google it, I had to ask on Litsy, and someone had to take a bigger pic of it so I could see it! 🤣 4d

CindyMyLifeIsLit @graywacke Wow! What a small world! I have taught at Langham, Bridgeland, and JV. I was the librarian for two wonderful years at JV before that went away 😞. I retired and am subbing now. (edited) 4d

Graywacke @dabbe 🤣 4d

Graywacke @CindyMyLifeIsLit right. Small world. My wife is at Cy-Creek and teaches art. She misses the single-school librarians. 4d

CindyMyLifeIsLit They had an AMAZING librarian! She is a good friend of mine, but she retired when they went multi-school. She didn‘t want any part of that! 4d

Graywacke @CindyMyLifeIsLit yes. My wife misses her a lot. 4d

AshleyHoss820 I took an Arthurian Literature course one year and we read this in about 4 days. I loved every minute! 4d

Graywacke @AshleyHoss820 four days?!! It‘s like 6 minutes a page for me. 😳 It‘s pure fun and entertaining ridiculousness, though 4d

AshleyHoss820 @Graywacke Yes! It was a wild experience! My copy looks a fright! 🤣🤣 But yes, fun, entertaining, and ridiculous! I personally enjoyed Tennyson‘s Arthurian poems the best!

Idylls of the King

Graywacke @AshleyHoss820 I‘ll look into that. I‘m haven‘t pursued Tennyson. Thanks 1d

After lots of playing around with decisions and introductions of various books, it seems i‘ve committed myself to this book - my new morning read. Bring on Mallory.

dabbe I had to read this one after reading THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING. I'm interested to read what you think about it. 🖤🐾🖤 6mo

Graywacke @dabbe So far it‘s a lot less boring 😆 Ok. i read White‘s book when I was 15 and not a book reader. And that … a lot of years ago. 6mo

dabbe @Graywacke No wonder some of my students in honors English would look at me like this when we were reading it: 😳🥱😴💤... 😂 6mo

Graywacke @dabbe 😆 high school students have no tolerance for good literature, today or anytime during my lifetime (i might be exaggerating) 6mo

Bookwomble This is one of my top five books. Love Malory! 6mo

Graywacke @Bookwomble wow. That‘s great encouragement. On one hand I‘m ridiculously charmed. On the other, it‘s 5 minutes a page. It‘s a 60+ hour read… But it‘s my morning. I‘ll take it slow. (edited) 6mo

Bookwomble @Graywacke One of my earliest memories (5 years old, perhaps) is of playing Sir Kay in an infant school play, and King Arthur and his knights have been part of my fibre ever since 😊 And, yes, it's dense! The stories in Malory are repetitive in nature, although often with different moral emphases, such as the love triangles between Arthur-Guenevere-Lancelot and Mark-Isoud-Tristram. 6mo

Bookwomble My favourite story, I think, is one that Malory created rather than retold: Sir Gareth. It draws from established Arthurian themes, but put together differently. It has an undercurrent of ancient rites and magic, and psychological archetypes that I find really engaging. (Sorry, I'll stop gushing!) 6mo

Graywacke @Bookwomble you have a freehand to gush on any of my posts. Especially on Mallory. I really know nothing. And you were acting characters i didn‘t know existed in infant school! You‘re a source for me! You and Monty Python! ☺️ (edited) 6mo

Bookwomble Python will probably be a more reliable source! ? And "act" would probably be a generous term. Still, it definitely influenced my love of folklore and chivalrous tales ? 6mo
