Tam Lin

I reread Pamela Dean's wonderful TAM LIN this weekend while traveling to my cousin's high school graduation party, because while this book is a fairy tale, it's also a book about how college life works (a land equally strange to me as fairyland was when I first read this book in high school).
This book is so good. It's phenomenal as an ethnography of the mysterious and fantastical land of college, with discovering first love and also learning new things -- and it's also a great reading list (and full of Shakespeare).

This is a good one to reread every few years. I cherish my copy--it's in the Bedside Bookcase, with the Secret Country trilogy and things like Gormenghast and The Magicians and Fire and Hemlock (yay, another Tam Lin!).
