i LOVED Tam Lin. I read it at least three times in middle school. So enjoyabl. I especially enjoy the scene where whatshisname is looking at the quotes from some classical text or other (I think it's the Odessy) and gets terribly irritated at the transaltion the quoter has used. I get a kick out of the idea of classics graffiti.
Although that book made me feel a bit sad that I'm not a 1) English major 2) Classics major 3) redhead. Less so the third. As opposed to Possession, which made me bless all the gods and minor deities that I'm not an English major.
And I have the feeling that I said the exact same thing to you a few days before we parted ways. Hm. I must not be a very interesting person. :-)
I also love the Pamela Dean Tam Lin books. Everytime I read it I always want to write down all the book titles she mentions, but don't want to interrput my reading to find a pen and paper so I always say I'll go back and do it, and always forget. so many good books out there for me to read!
^_^ it's just grand that you mention Tam Lin, we all immediately post back! I already gave you my views on the subject of your possession of the book *grin* once you've read it all the way through I'll mention all the wondrous bits I adore in it ^_^
somewhat on the subject, you've read McKillip's Winter Rose, right? that book makes me shivery. and have you read The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope? ooh, and I've decided to start reading Valiant today! *bounces with excitement*
