I second Dana. Watership Downs is one my comfort reads.

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."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Rereading Watership Down is always a good choice (even if I could probably recite most of it from memory!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I remember liking World War Z

OK! Starting my listen of Abaddon's Gate -- just finished Caliban's War. Thoroughly enjoying!
For those who watched -- what did you think of books v. series? I only saw part of S1, and I'm thinking of revisiting eventually.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Still haven't read the books. I already have shelves of physical books, lots of Kindle books, and folders of fanfic that I sadly realize I am never going to be able to read through. Oh, well.
In season one of the TV series, they had me hooked at the sparrow in low gravity.

I watched part of season 1 before reading any books, and then read all the books as fast as possible and watched the show as it came out. I might actually have an outstanding short story that if I don't read it it isn't over. They are both great, the show is an excellent adaptation.

I watched the show and then read all the books. I think the show is excellent. Except for the occasional presence of Thomas Jane.

Always Anti-fascist!
Get Alexei Navalny's book. It's awesome.

Thanks, all. I think I will side-car the show with the books now. Why not?
Since I did watch a lot of S1, I picture Holden, Amos, Alex, Naomi, and Avasalara (I love this actor so much), and Miller as the actors who portrayed them. But, like, Bobbi and Prax from Caliban, I just have my own mind's creation. It'll be interesting to see how they compare... assuming mostly the same characters are in both.

Oh my god, Bobbi is amazing.
