Inara ,'Objects In Space'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I began Watership Down last night. I've never read it. So far, I like it. It reads a lot like Ender's Game to me. Same tone, I've kinda made Fiver Ender and Pipkin Bean.
So, yeah. I like it. I needed a nice light-hearted bunny story, and now I have one!

Not it!

Hee. I already asked Joe about it and he told me a little bit. He tried to equate it to Animal Farm to which I responded, "I never read Animal Farm ." He said, "Ok, you saw the TNT movie a couple of years ago." I thought about it and said, "I remember there were pigs."
He just sighed and went back inside.

Hmm, I'd say it's more like LORD OF THE RINGS, but with rabbits.
Frank, I thought that, too. I think Joe was thinking more about the social commentary.

It's kind of like Lost, but with rabbits.
I'm 150 pages into Kavalier and Clay, and I don't even have slash goggles, but I feel like Chabon is fucking with me on purpose. As for the story, it started out a little slow, but it's really taken off now that they've finally started work on the comic.

Hmmm. I didn't really pick up a lot of social commentary or allegory. Granted I read it in high school, but I'd also read ANIMAL FARM (heh - type HOUSE at first; definitely not the same) by then. Of course, missing the social commentary in ANIMAL FARM is like missing a shovel to the face. I didn't even know a whole lot about Lenin/Stalin/Trotsky at the time I read it, but I couldn't miss it was MAKING A POLITICAL STATEMENT about something related to dictators.
