Watership Down
I just finished an amazing book, Watership Down. It's a great adventure story about some rabbits and their struggles to survive on their own. There's a funny story behind my reading this book. When I was nearly finished with high school, my cousin let me borrow the book and told me it was her favorite book and that I should read it. Well, I finished high school, went to college, my parents moved... the rest is history.
Who knows the fate of that book that was lent to me?
Well, I was online recently and I ran into a mention of that book and I was like, "$*%&!" Since it was Christmas Break, I went to the library and checked it out. A few days later, I have read a great story and have a clear conscience. Now, all I have to do is buy a new book, send it to my cousin, and pretend nothing happened! LOL
Tomorrow, it'll be time to return to work after a break of nearly three weeks. I wonder if I forgot how to work (not that I was all that great at it, anyway!).

Poor bunnies.
When it comes to talking animals, Chronicles of Narnia, of course and then, Kenneth Grahme's "Wind in the Willows" is my favorite, I remember reading that the rabbits were portrayed as idiots in response to Watership. cheers, DTR
I suppose I'll have to take a look at "Wind in the Willows." However, if you read Watership, you will realize that rabbits are NOT idiots!
