Doing well with my reading list. Could use some recommendations for Arthurian novels, though.

I recently read The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell, which was quite good. It's the first in a trilogy, though. So, if you're looking for stand alone books, it might not be the best choice.

Have you read Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy: The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, The Last Enchantment?
I also found Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon an interesting interpretation of the Arthurian legend. I read another of her books (don't remember the title) and didn't care for it, but I liked Mists of Avalon.
I see you have Le Morte d'Arthur listed. If you want to go back even further to the early legends, you might be interested in Geoffrey of Monmouth's The History of the Kings of Britain and The Mabinogion and Chretian le Troyes tales. There is also a Penguin Classics book called King Arthur's Death which has a couple of the legends that Marlowe apparently used to compile his book.

I have read Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mary Stewart. I enjoyed both, but especially like Bradley's interpretation.
I will definitely check out Cornwell, Monmouth and King Arthur's Death.
Thanks for the recommendations!

This may be not-quite-what-you're-looking-for as far as Arthurian recommendations go, but a book I LOVED was The Forever King, which has a modern day Arthur.
And Susan Cooper's Dark Is Rising sequence (which may not actually start with _Dark Is Rising_) is transmuted Arthurian, too, I believe. That's young reader/young adult reading level.
