Is King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table a decent book to start with on the Arthurian mythos?

What the fuck are you morons going on about? Libya was and is a state sponsor of terrorism. Qaddafi was nuts and full of himself and that quote doesn't accurately represent what he really believed since he was a manipulative bastard who would tell you what you wanted to hear just to stab you in the back. He was like that with every perceived enemy of Libya.

As much as I love Qaddafi, he was a bit of a nutcase.

No pictures, too lazy.

Dante - Divine comedy (Longfellow, Dante's death anniversary reread)
Torquatto Tasso - Jerusalem Delivered
Publius Statius - the Thebaid
And, that which I'm currently reading, the first volume of Ratzinger's "Jesus of Nazareth" trilogy.

It should be a good time.

Any Arthurian text is a good introduction, but I'd recommend something more poetic personally than a simple children's prose rendition, as it'll likely censor any of the more "explicit" elements of the mythos. Maybe I'm wrong.
I can reccomend Tennyson's Idylls of the King. Though if you want to "historically" trace King Arthur in your reading, Monmouth's Kings of Britain. If you like Tolkien, try his Sir Gawain translation
