104:52 Watership Down by Richard Adams

The classic tale involving rabbits. Matthew read it for bookclub and loved it and insisted that I read it immediately.

I know it's a classic, beautiful language and the basic story was interesting. I'm one of those people tho who get bored to tears at pages upon pages of scenery description. I want enough to imagine the basic layout but I'm not one who generally sees in pictures as I read so this was a bit of overkill in that department for me and the intense description slowed it down to plodding all too often. I found the imagining of an adventure for rabbits interesting but I doubt I'll read it again.
