Growing Up in Public by Ezequiel Garcia.
The coworker who lent me it also lent American Splendor which I haven't started yet.

LeeC:
I am picking up Le Morte d'Arthur again. I put it down for awhile because I have a habit of falling asleep on trains.

I am kind of surprised there is a few knights from India and a prominent knight named Palamedes that is middle eastern running around in England in Le Morte d'Arthur. I have a feeling if Netflix or the BBC ran a Le Morte d'Arthur show they would get flak for having such characters, even though they were in the stories.

Also, is the questing beast just a giraffe?

"following the Questing Beast that had in shape a head like a serpent's head, and a body like a leopard, buttocks like a lion, and footed like an hart; and in his body there was such a noise as it had been the noise of thirty couple of hounds questing, and such a noise that beast made wheresomever he went"

Cornelius:
I never thought it was, really. It sounds smaller. But I may be confusing with The once and future King which draws quite openly on the Morte dArthur.

One romance has Gawain travel to India, to retrieve a flying chessboard, and he marries the Indian princess, as well. Turns out the legend is a bit more diverse than most people realise.

Theta9:
The Heart Goes Last (audio) by Margaret Atwood.
Atwood has a flair for writing really bleak dystopian sci-fi.
