A Challenge!

It is time for Carl's wonderful "Once Upon a Time Challenge." I've decided to do Quest the First which involves reading five books totally that are either fantasy, fairy tale, folklore, or mythology. Of course, I never seem to be able to narrow down my choices during these challenges, so instead of a set list I've made a reading pool to pull books from:


  • The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison
  • Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
  • Coraline by Neil Gaiman
  • Some Lloyd Alexander
  • Finish any of the comic book series I am currently reading (Sandman, Lucifer, and/or Fables).
  • The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald
  • The Dark Tower series by Stephen King
  • The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis (reread)
  • Harry Potter series (reread)
  • Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis
  • Helmut of Horror by Victor Pelevin
  • His Dark Materials trilogy (reread)
  • Nocturnes by John Connolly
  • Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees

Pretty hefty list, right? I think the challenge will be to narrow these down to five reads!
