Watership Down Hazel-rah!
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.
Buffy ,'Beneath You'
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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Watership Down Hazel-rah!
Ahhh!! yes.
Though the best moment is when Bigwig drags himself up and says, "My Chief Rabbit told me to stop you here." And the other rabbits go, "Shit! He's *not* the Chief Rabbit??? There's someone *he* takes orders from???"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, Anne of Green Gables is a good one. I don't generally reread things that make me cry.
Possibly Harry Potter.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The Sweet, Far Thing (although I probably will reread that trilogy at some point).
I re-read the trilogy last year and just stopped before the end. Because I knew it would leave me an utter, gibbering mess.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All of those are--you realize there's a whole raft of books I'm never reading again, right? For the crying thing. As well as ones I won't read again because they were awful, and the ones I won't even finish--and that's huge for me, because for many, too many years, if I started it I had to finish it. Till one day I realized I'd never read all the books I wanted to, so why was I reading stuff unworthy of my time? I still feel guilty rereading favorites--time! Time I should spend on reading new stuff! But comfort reading is important, so I still do reread.
ANYway. Erin, Pawn in Frankincense is the fourth volume in Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles.

Because books.
Oh god, I forgot Harry Potter. Sobbed at the end of both six and seven.
Because I knew it would leave me an utter, gibbering mess.
Yeah, that's my fear. I actually want to read her new books before I reread the trilogy -- I have Going Bovine and I need to get Beauty Queens.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I still have not read Deathly Hallows. And yes, I've seen Pt. 1 and will see Pt. 2. Somehow, in this instance, I'd rather watch than read. I know it's going to be bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to read the final book. Yet.

Confession: I have never read Watership Down and probably never will. Because of the crying thing.
