You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

Don't think I didn't look there first for ideas! I figure when we actually get around to the theme, I will be reading that since it's been unread on my book shelf for years.

Because books.
Rabbit Hill was the only bunny book I ever got around to. Except for Beatrix Potter stuff. And the Max and Ruby books, thanks to Sara.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Not exactly a classic, but Stephen King's novella "The Body" (later became the movie Stand By Me) fits the quest theme.

Oh, yes! I forgot! (Speaking of which, you have to read the bandom fic AU of Bunnicula, Sophia. Hysterical.)

When I reread Watership Down four years ago for the first time in 25 years, I was reminded of what a damn good story it is, a truly epic work.
