Willow ,'Sleeper'
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 loved Watership Down and seem to recall it having a dictionary either before or after the narrative.
Colbert Report had a WD reference last night that is appropriate here:
"Stephen, you have Watership Down in with your non-fiction books."
"Yeah, so?"
"Stephen, it's about rabbits at war!"
"What's your point?"
I have it on good authority that rabbits aren't harmless like everyone supposes.
!eeH
By the way, thank you to the Buffistas who were conversing recently about the Vorkosigan books and, unrelatedly, Connie Willis. I have had a happy couple of weeks working my way through several of the former and re-discovering how much I like the latter. (Bellwether was a lot of fun.) So thanks!
I just finished chapter two of The Name of the Wind and I want to marry it and have it's babies. If you aren't seriously hooked by page 25 I could never love you.

I have to admit, I love the more recent Bujold series more than the Vorkosigan books (The Sharing Knife, et al.) But although I have read a lot of scifi, it is not my all time fave genre, so it makes sense that I like the world she created in TSK: Beguilement a bit better.
Have you read the 3rd Sharing Knife book?
(I haven't. . . yet. Paying my humongous library fines will make it more likely that I will read it sooner.)
Yes, I have! And I still like the series and the characters and Bujold seems to be whipping 'em out, which makes me happy.
So excited!
I'm taking Multicultural Literature for Youth this semester and I just put all my books on hold at the library.
I was supposed to take African American Lit and was really looking forward to it, but turns out the prof I would have to have was not so good and the "literature" he uses is his own writing.
And he's not published.
