Love.

Have you taken my quiz (http://www.geocities.com/elvenevenstar/mistsquiz.html) on it, by the way? ;)

Why, No, I dont think I have.. I shall do so now :)

It is my absolute favorite book ever.

Mine too, but I didnt like the movie much. It was ok, I think they could have made it much much better though..

I am in the minority: I'm torn between intense dislike of the poorly handled research and nonsensical characterizations, and mad amusement at the soap opera dynamics.

And I love most of MZB's other stuff, mind, Darkover in particular. MoA just...irritates me intensely.

Another heretic!
I can't stand MoA, primarily because the way she handles the characters. I don't mind Arthurian stories in which the author has tried to humanize the characters a bit (Parke Godwin's books are my own particular favorites), but in MoA everybody comes out as less than admirable.

From what I've heard of it (Arthur as an antagonist=major turnoff), it never really interested me in the first place.
