I love The Mists of Avalon as well. Definitely one of those "classic"
fantasy books. I've never been too terribly fond of MZB's writing style
(a bit dry at times) but didn't care when reading this, the story was
that good.

And I believe that some TV network (Odyssey maybe?) will be airing a
Mists of Avalon miniseries sometime this summer. I think Julianna
Marguilies (actress from ER) is playing Morgaine (Morgan Le Fay). 

Hrm, haven't read it in awhile. Maybe I should pull it off the shelf
again...
