I read Watership Down when I was really young, and have to admit that I really didn't "get" it as much as I probably would have had I waited until I was a bit older to read it. It's on my list of books that I want to go back and re-read now that I'm "grown up"...
I noticed that Richard Adams has written a bunch of other books, most of them more recently: Plague Dogs, Tales from Watership Down, and Shardik. Has anyone read any of these?

STU, I read Tales, and it was good for a collection of short stories, but it didn't match the original novel in depth of character.

Simon R. Green's nightside tales. I have read them each three or four times, and each time i do, i find more little nuggets of imagination in them. And they are relatively small books, around 200 pages mostly.
Other than that, right now, i'm reading the ICC building codes for Mechanical and Building. Talk about dry reading. Accounting has a better plot, lol.

Oh, and i have been trying the serenity falls horror series, but i don't know why. I don't really like them, but i can't seem to stop trying, hoping they will get better.

I bought George R.R. Martin's "A Feast for Crows" on Tuesday. I traveled to Lexington to a book signing Wednesday night and now have an autographed copy! Yay! (I'm reading it too, by the way.)

I'm trying to "skim" Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire before the movie comes out. I kind of read through the second half in a hurry, and there are large chunks of the story that I just don't remember at all.
I'm also planning to re-read "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" again before the movie comes out December 9.
Come to think of it, I'll probably re-read "Brokeback Mountain" again before the movie comes out. I read the story when it was originally published years ago, and thought it was very powerful. It also takes place in Wyoming, one of my favorite states...

Yup - came out November 8th. It is good - but I think it is a step down from the first three books. I'm about 80% of the way through it, and am enjoying it, even though nothing much seems to happen.
