I used to read a lot of these, then sorta forgot about them. Then suddenly I decided to read like 4 compilations in one day, I don't know why, but there they were. But yeah if anyone else is interested maybe we can talk about them. I kinda vary a lot with which legends I like and which I don't. Basically whenever it's about Arthur, or Merlin, or Avalon, Nimue, Excalibur, Camelot, Knights of the Round Table, I think of those as like core elements and always get into them. When it's about specific knights it depends on the Knights.. I like Palomides, Agravaine, Ewain, And I always want to know more about King Lot, Urien, Ban, and Pellinore (and Sir Tor) I don't really get as excited about Lancelot, or Galahad, Gareth, or Gaheris for whatever reason, although I still might enjoy the stories. I don't really like anything about the Holy Grail no matter how it's told. I'm very middling on the various kind of "abstract knights" like the green knight, blue knight, red knight, black knight, it seems to me they're all variations on the original black knight to an extent, perhaps. I definitely am always interested in the finale with Mordred and Arthur, one kills the other, or both kill each other, however it's spun, the climactic finale I guess. My least favorite rendition is this one I am partial to any children's version for the most part I like them best, such as this one I hate the Mists of Avalon with a passion, never really read it actually everything said it was bad so I was done with it after that point. And of course this movie Yeah I can't say it's my favorite thing ever but unlike a lot of things it manages not to offend me so there's something to be said for that.
