I can’t survive without books, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite novels and stories with you. I’m a budding medievalist, but don’t worry, I threw some more modern ones in there for those of you who have found a way past the Dark Ages (though I’m not sure why you’d want to. I hear the Enlightenment’s a bit overrated.)
