Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Unknown

 

"From his neck to his loins so square set was he, and so long and stalwart of limb, that I trow he was half a giant."

I'm going to be completely honest here. I desperately wanted to reach my goal of reading 100 books last years and was still trying earnestly on December 31. It wasn't enough, I got to 80. This was one of those books I pretty much skimmed through at the eleventh hour.
If you're wondering why I was reading this, you can blame my list ticking obsession. It appeared on Nicci French's Top 10 dinner parties list at The Guardian. 
This just wasn't really my jam.

2 out of 5 - not in the mood for King Arthur.
