I recently read Watership Down, which I had not read as a kid, though I saw the movie as an adult. It's adorable! I loved the rabbits' mythology and the details of their political maneuvering and relations with other animals, aspects which are understandably skimmed over in the film. My favorite bits compared to the film were when the narrator pauses to explain differences in how the rabbits socialized compared to people, making it a little different from simply anthropomorphizing the rabbits. (I'm on a tear of reading novels that have famous film adaptations. I reread The Virgin Suicides recently and am reading The Warriors now. Battle Royale will be next on my list.)

Earwicker posted:i can't imagine reading that book now. i read it in the mid-90's and loved it but after everything the internet has turned into since then it would read so completely differently. and also im no longer a horny idiotic teenager. I read it for the first time around 2018. I thought it held up okay, despite the hindsight from Second Life, MMOs, social media, actual VR headsets, etc. Wasn't too hard to suspend disbelief, I guess.
