I can't believe it. Our tastes coincided closely in movies, but the only one of these books I've read is LORD OF THE RINGS - and I can't say it's a favourite. ???????

I am currently reading Here Be Dragons (found this list by searching for it) and cannot tear myself away. You might also enjoy the Camulod series by J. C. Whyte, it takes the legend of Excalibur and Arthur and treats it as historical fiction. Some of it is very clever and much of the history covered along the way is fascinating. The first volume is The Skystone.
