Melusine,
I'm a grad student & instructor. I'm studying mostly Arthurian legend--Malory & the 13th C. prose (although it's in old French and I'm not able to read that yet, so I have to read translations); if you ever read the old Norse, Germanic and Norweigan sagas (Volsunga Saga and the Siegfried sagas off the top of my head) they are like rough versions of modern fantasy--dragons and all; some cool female characters too. Plus a lot of fantasy (Jordan esp.) draws on Arthurian legend. Check them out if you're bored!
It's a great thing to do all day [other than play addictive computer games...]
