Le Morte d'Arthur is one of my top 5 books -- if I could take only 5 books with me to a desert island, this would be one of them. ( )

Come on, you don't need to read Malory in translation. Only some of the vocab is different, and the grammar. The rest of it is just archaic, and perfectly understandable once you get used to the rhythms. Forget a translation and go straight to the source. ( )

This book had me saying, "I will slee thee!" It was boring at first, but after reading 726 pages during much of my free time for two weeks sophomore year at Mount Holyoke, I lived and breathed Malory. Read it all and become one with King Arthur. The best part is The Book of Sir Tristram De Lyones. Basically you should just plan to read the whole thing. ( )
