No one disliked the book; to the contrary, everyone really enjoyed reading it. Many found the kind of "deep" ideas in it that I see, and we all got captivated by Adams' writing them as characters: "I kept thinking of them as people -- but then I was how people were portrayed and I had to correct myself." <BR/><BR/>This is a "classic" -- i.e., a work of literature that can never be reduced to a single or even a few "meanings," but rather one to which one can return time and again and discover something new. <BR/><BR/>Read it now.Dwight P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849665963994688905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914939.post-1115479717414351552005-05-07T08:28:00.000-07:002005-05-07T08:28:00.000-07:00Thanks for reminding me about "Watership Down." Ye...Thanks for reminding me about "Watership Down." Years ago our associate rector did an adult formation class where she mentioned it, and at the time I tried to locate it (pre-Amazon, pre-Internet).
