Watership Down

A gift from the missionaries before they returned to the U.S. I think I should read the books that Adams borrows the quotations from to start each chapter.

"What am I lying here for?...We are lying here as though we had a chance of enjoying a quiet time... Am I waiting until I become a little older?"
Xenophon The Anabasis

from Chapter 3. Hazel's Decision

If you dig this book, try to convince Kasey to read it. I haven't been too successful :(

Kasey - read it! It's a really well-crafted novel, the suspense grows and grows, and the descriptions of nature on the down makes you long for soggy England. Well, it made me want to be there, anyway.
