I read incredibly shitty fiction as a kid!

Artemis Fowl was goated tho

Pretty sure I'm too old for Artemis fowl. Also why I bounced off HP - just a few years too old.

Beowulf more your alley? Or perhaps Canterbury tales?

I'm old,

Yeah I was being cheeky and implying that was more your time period

Slight aside, I never really appreciated Beowulf until I watched the Alan Wood documentary, "In search of Beowulf".

If you're interested in English history, his earlier documentaries are also worth a look - they are iirc all about the Anglo Saxon period, although they do unfortunately focus largely on kings and nobles. ~~he's also not difficult to look at in the old ones~~
