Night falls over the life of one noble knight and brings the dawn of his squire's knighthood. Dubbing himself "Ser Duncan the Tall," "The Hedge Knight" sets forth to the tourney at Ashford Meadow in search of fame and glory and the honor of upholding his oath as a knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Unfortunately for him, the world isn't ready for a knight who keeps his oaths, and his chivalrous methods could be the very cause of his demise.

I've been obsessed with astrology recently, and this book was a marvel - it marries myth, psychology, and astrology. It's still too complex for me to understand (since most of my knowledge was cobbled together from Google searches), but Greene and Sasportas offer a very nuanced discussion of the sun and moon both in a person's natal chart and throughout a person's life. My only difficulty with this book was the organization - there were a number of ideas that kept repeating and some that weren't explained enough. But then, it could be because this was intended for an audience with a more sophisticated background in astrology, and it was originally a lecture series, meaning even the interaction with the audience was part of the book. Definitely will come back to this, though, after I have a more solid foundation in astrology.

Guided by the poet Virgil, Dante plunges to the very depths of Hell and embarks on his arduous journey towards God. Together they descend through the twenty-four circles of the underworld and encounter the tormented souls of the damned - from heretics and pagans to gluttons, criminals and seducers - who tell of their sad fates and predict events still to come in Dante's life.

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is a novella by H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) published by Arkham House posthumously in 1943 in the collection Beyond the Wall of Sleep. Begun probably in the autumn of 1926, it was completed on January 22, 1927 and was unpublished in his lifetime. It is both the longest of the stories that make up his Dream Cycle and the longest Lovecraft work to feature protagonist Randolph Carter. Along with his 1927 novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, it can be considered one of the significant achievements of that period of Lovecraft's writing. The Dream-Quest combines elements of horror and fantasy into an epic tale that illustrates the scope and wonder of humankind's ability to dream.
