What did you learn about rabbits? That they are a blood thirsty and maniacal lot?



I only picked up this book when I was in HS because I remembered vividly the cartoon movie of the book that I watched when I was a young child. And how it scared the bejeezus out of me because the animals could talk and were maiming each other. Kinda like the Secret of NIMH did when my parents took us to see it in the theatre (I was 5). For some reason I was more scared by mean animals than anything. Thus I picked up Watership Down and read it, and enjoyed it on a much less visceral level (the cartoon was rather graphic for 1980s network tv). It also put to rest the fighting bunny nightmares

Needless to say I need to pick up a copy of the book again and see what I get out of it some 10 years later. I have been re-reading many of the books I read in high school and am amazed at the different way they touch me now than they did then.

That is the miracle of books, every time you read them they are slightly different. They are living things :

Back to my ever expanding library of books I have already read.....

Dude, I saw the cartoon of that book when I was a little kid too. Scared the crap out of me cuz all these rabbits were fighting in a war and one group of rabbits had red eyes ...

I couldn't think of the name for the longest time and a few weekends ago I accused my dad of subjecting me to that cartoon. But since I couldn't remember the name and vaguely remembered the plot, everyone thought I was crazy. Hmmm thinking about it makes me wanna see the cartoon again.

Yeah it had to be a real cartoon. Unless of course we BOTH are totally off our rockers. Hmmm.

I was thinking I needed to see the cartoon again too.

Time to search for a copy on video methinks.....

i wouldnt recommend it, but in case you tend to get the new oreilly book, make sure you at least get a deck cards

Second, you'll love our other great bonus item: the "Deck of Weasels" – the playing cards that poke fun at the left-wing Hollywood celebrities that opposed Operation Iraqi Freedom and President Bush. The "Deck of Weasels" includes the funniest quotes from George Clooney (who predicted we would lose the war), Barbra Streisand (who said the war was the result of a conspiracy), Michael Moore, Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon and many others.

Classic that asked "Why not murder?" Doestoevsky's answer at the end doesn't ring true for a non-Christian, but it stands as a deep and interesting novel, one of my faves.



Great choice mate!!! One of my faves

On top of that anything by Noam Chomsky is good, if you're into International Policies and all that good stuff, perticularly

Washington Connection & Third World Fascism

Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie




An excellent choice!!

I would also suggest Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka...a must read

Anyone like Horror Fiction?
Short Stories by H.P. Lovecraft are as good as it gets....
