Watership Down.
Oooh, good one. And a perfect excuse to re-read.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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."

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.

Thanks for the great ideas!
The collection with "The Body" is the only Stephen King i've read. I know some of his stuff is dystopian--anything I should include on that list?

The Stand. One of his better books too.
