I loved the novel Watership Down. The cartoon was a favourite of mine as a kid but once I read the novel... I was blown away. I usually read it once a year now. The characters felt like old friends to me after the first time reading it. I especially enjoyed the Rabbit mythology that is in the book.
A bit of trivia: The area in the novel is based on a real location in England.
I read Watership Down as well. Although it has been quite a while since I have last read it.
I loved the conversations the rabbits had, and went through a lot of other books with "talking" animals. I loved the descriptions/words the animals had for "human" items.
I think these books were my basis of why Mark could talk to animals.

I watched Watership Down once when I was very young. It is one of 2 movies I swore I would never watch again (the other being "Old Yeller"). The movie left such an impression on me that I never read the book. But after reading everyone's comments, I think I may go to the local library and borrow it!
Yes all this talk is making me think I need to go back and re-read it.
I wonder if it is/ was one of the books I lost in the flood?
I have a feeling the Author is Adams, and the books I lost were the second half of the alphabet.

I went to the pharmacy today to buy allergy pills. When I go to get them off the shelf I find out that I need to ask the pharmacist for the OTC meds. I thought that it was a pain but slightly understanding since too many people are using them to make meth drugs. What I didn't know was that they want to scan your drivers liscense along with typing in your SS # for their records. I'm not sure why anybody would really need to have all of that information for allergy pills but I do know the "reason" that they will give you if you ask. To think that my family wonders why I don't want to have kids! I go insane enough in this world let alone have a kid that would have to live with the "control" factor all of its life. What happened to the state that we once lived in? Thanks for letting me vent!!!
