Hey all. The very next episode is going to be a general ramble about The Witcher Books/Netflix Adaptation but I need your help deciding on what to cover after that.

Here some info on the options:

The Eye of Argon:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eye_of_Argon

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Connecticut_Yankee_in_King_Arthur%27s_Court

Maradonia and the Seven Bridges:
https://dreadful-books.fandom.com/wiki/Maradonia_and_the_Seven_Bridges



TLDR The first and third are notoriously terrible books and the middle one is something I saw today and was mildly interested in.

You can vote for two, or even all three if you like (though that would be a tad pointless).

There was a movie where a teenage baseball player is transported to midevil times. The middle title reminds me of that. I didn't know there was a book though with an adult engineer.

Oh, what a relief. I voted for Connecticut Yankee on principle thinking there was no way it would win - looks like it has a chance after all. Having experienced Maradonia for myself and being actually a rather big fan of The Eye of Argon, I definitely wouldn't want you subjected to their particular brand of pain.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court would be interesting to cover for the influence it had.

Given the first and third were written by kids, I'd kind of feel bad about piling on them. (The author's behavior afterward notwithstanding.)

DOM, why do you do this to yourself? And us? I was all for the Twain novel until I read the wiki article for Eye of Argon and now I feel compelled to vote for your further torment.

*looks at voting results* Hey, you might read something good!

As a kid I saw A Connecticut Yankee and swore I made it up because no one else could tell me what it was. Then I was flipping channels as a teen and found it and I was like, I knew I didn't make this fever dream of a movie up. TBH I also believed for like 5 years that I dreamed up Singing in the Rain because I couldn't remember anything but the scene where Princess Leia's mom was singing behind the curtain and they gleefully lift said curtain. I thought my brain meshed The Wizard of Oz with something more mundane.

These would all make great reviews, but I think you'd want to go for Yankee first, it be interesting to get the take of a British reviewer who now lives in the USA (plus it may be the oldest book you've reviewed so far and is kind of an important piece in literary history). The Eye of Argon would be my next choice, it's a legendary piece that more people should know about--and when everyone on Earth does, we need to make sure the space aliens learn about it--and would make a legitimately good review, though it may be hard to say anything new about it. Maradonia has a toxic history, maybe the authors and her supporters have chilled out by now, but another year or two can't hurt, you don't want a DMCA strike with how Youtube is right now.

He reviewed far older books- but Mark Twain is cool! Wrote great shorter pieces too, for example one about the german language that I as a german found highly instructive- ger

Ooo, if it wins I hope you like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. My husband read it and loved it and so it'd be interesting to get your take on it too.

Please take your time with the Witcher episode. I haven't had time to watch the show yet.

So if it is Connecticut Yankee, will that be a LiA? Either covering just the Bing Crosby musical version, which I'm guessing is the most well known, or perhaps including others like "Unidentified Flying Oddball" or the one staring Keshia Knight Pullam? Or will it just be covering the book alone?

Syntia13

A little off topic, but do you have ... not a schedule maybe, but a list of the upcoming LiA episodes in order? It's just there's one that I'm really looking forward to, and it'd be nice to know when to expect to see it.

Huh, didn't realise a movie as... 90s kid-esque, as A Kid in King Arthur's Court was based off of a Mark Twain book.

He wrote a nice one about Joan of Arc as well. Apparently, it was his passion piece.

I would avoid Maradonia just because even though they might not come after you, I feel like attention is what this author wants and they do not even deserve negative attention. The author and her behaviour, and her fans behaviour would overshadow the book itself because there was a lot more of that outside drama than there was stuff relating to the actual book.

I kinda want all three

Can A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court be a Lost in Adaptation?? Cause there's the Bing Crosby film and then A Kid in King Arthur's Court.

Ooof, that is a very tough choice. I've read "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and would be interested to hear your thoughts on it, but I'm a sucker for "so bad it's hilarious" which the other two choices sound like. So any is good. I didn't realize there were so many movie adaptations of the former, the only one I saw was Disney's "A Knight in Camelot" starring Whoopi Goldberg. I barely remember it, but she has a laptop with her and may-or-may-not be somehow using the internet in medieval times.

I'm most interested in you talking about Twain and your read on him and his style.

Utaku Beta

You HAVE to do Eye of argon!!! But.. it would be better if you did it unscripted in a group using Convention rules: The goal is to get through ONE page blind. As soon as a person giggles, stutters, laughs, etc, it goes to the next person. NO READING AHEAD. You read to the end of the book. Person who completed the most pages 'wins'. This "book" WILL break you... and it's thoroughly enjoyable done this way. Also be sure to get the complete version including the "secret lost ending"!

Utaku Beta

As an addendum.. you MUST READ THE ERRORS as intended. Don't fix the grammar, spelling, or suggested enunciation. As a read this is BAD... SERIOUSLY BAD! So I really don't suggest doing a normal LiA format... this pain is best shared among friends... and people you want to hurt LOL :)

I've been following you for ages now, and I swear this is the first time I've seen a poll of yours. So my vote is cast :)

I do love me some Arthuriana. Yankee gets my vote. :)

Been a lifelong Mark Twain fan. Yankee has my vote.

If you do Connecticut Yankee, please review the Danny Kaye version for LIA one day as well.

Ok, Eye of Argon is bad. But we have all written bad stuff at that age, he is just unlucky that other people got hold of it. The Maradonia "Saga" on the other hand. Talk about delusional. This girl is even worse than the guy who wrote Empress Theresa. I don't really want to subject you to her awful writing but I would still love to see what you do with it.
