My DM insisted I try it and gave me a Christmas game. It's the one job I've found where all my talents come into play, bringing a tale to life.
My favorite books are
Beowulf The Bible Dracula Frankenstein The Iliad The Prose Edda (Tales from Norse Mythology) Slaughterhouse-Five War and Peace

Mythology Classic and Gothic Literature Immersion

Isn't for everyone but it can be a HECK of a lot of fun and totally valid. I can handle it. Let it rip.
