I’m sort of fascinated that vegan podcasts would mention Watership Down! I mean of course, it is a wonderful book and all people must love it, but it pleases me that vegans in particular like it. And why not.

It absolutely makes sense, and I so agree! It’s why I never tire of reading written appreciations of people and things I also appreciate. 🙂

I know but I don’t know what to change my approach TO. It is about rabbits — you can’t describe the book without mentioning that part. I’ve just accepted that it’s a difficult book to describe, and you have to depend on the other person trusting you to begin with.

I wish I could have it sent it to you from Paperbackswap! If you lived in the US I totally could. :/ I think you would really like it, and I am not just saying that because I want everyone to like it. I think it exists at a point where our tastes in books intersect.

Do! Make this the year! 2012 is a good year for rabbits!

Ikr? I’m baffled.

Oh Kristen, no. It’s nothing nothing nothing like Animal Farm. It’s all about good decent rabbits trying to do the best thing they can do in a series of bad situations. And having adventures, and it’s wonderful. They’re not talking animals like in books with humans! They’re regular rabbits communicating as rabbits do, they can’t talk to humans. I really want you to love Watership Down!

You know, I’ve seen it described as a fantasy novel so often, and I don’t think of it that way at all. It’s really an adventure novel that happens to have rabbits as protagonists.

Hahahahaha, that is very very very true.
