I just started the Grail Quest series --book 1, the Archer's Tale-- by Bernard Cornwell... I read the entire Saxon Series (AKA The Last Kingdom series) and really liked it... So I'm optimistic about this...
on the Graphic Novel front, Having just finished Locke & Key trade paperback #1... I'm starting Crossed by Garth Ennis
Sometime tomorrow on my Kindle, I'll begin the short story [I]Hunter Quatermain's Story[/I] (1887) by H. Rider Haggard and then [I]American Institutions and Their Influence[/I] (1851) by Alexis de Tocqueville.
Started [SIZE=1]re-[/SIZE]reading [B][U]The Avenger #3: The Sky Walker[/U][/B] by "Kenneth Robeson".

First read this book back in the early-to-mid-1970s when I originally bought it, though the image isn't my own personal copy.
(Mine does look like that, though, with the same cover-price: [B][FONT=Century Gothic]75¢[/FONT][/B].

I'm really enjoying some good ol' Sherlock. These Macmillan classic pocket HCs are beautiful.
Sometime tomorrow, I'll begin reading [I]Casey Stengel: Baseball's Greatest Character[/I] (2017) by Marty Appel.
Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake
[QUOTE=Vegan Daddy;3462816]Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake[/QUOTE]
I completed the whole series about ten years ago after I spotted it referenced in Stephen King's [I]Danse Macabre[/I]. One of the best things I ever read.

Early Bradbury, Heinlein and Asimov for starters.

I've read all of them haha. I'm looking for something maybe a little more obscure.
But I find that there is always some Asimov or Heinlein I haven't read yet. I found Friday at the library a couple months ago and loved it.

How about L. Sprague de Camp, C.L. Moore, and Doc Smith?

I'll check 'em out, any books in particular you'd recommend?

I liked both [I]The Best of L. Sprague de Camp[/I] and [I]The Best of C.L. Moore[/I] quite a lot (I never read a book of Doc Smith, only short stories here and there).
I finished the Aimee Hix mystery novel "What Doesn't Kill You".
