You're Watership Down!
by Richard Adams
Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.
Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.

Actually I have never read this book. I've tried a couple of times but I never made it past the first couple of chapters, and it's not because I couldn't handle talking animals.

because my map is kind of pathetic compared to Peony's, especially since many of these I merely did just stop over in the airport. But it looked like too much fun to pass up. I am actually very ashamed I have not been to Vermont since I live right on the border practically and I my husband drives there daily.

OK, I finished watching Shogun. It ended with Toranaga saying "Soon Anjin-san, I will reveal to you why I must have destroyed your ship to save your life. Build another ship and I will destroy that too. There is much I need to learn from you my friend, and I reveal all to you." And then it ended. Why did they have to destroy the ship to keep him alive? What happened to his dirty crew-were they on the Erasmus when it burnt down?Did Vinck like die of a heart attack or something? If Father Alvito had nothing to do with his ship being burnt down, then why did Mariko's conversation with him perpetuate the ship to be burnt down? What about Buntaro, last they showed him he was growling "Anjin..." but never showed him again. Did I totally miss the point of everything or was the movie that bad and the book explains it all better? I even watched it with subtitles (I am deaf in one ear and find if I do not use subtitles, I miss a great deal of points). I don't know, at the end my husband and I were like "I don't get it."

I would read the book, but not if it is equally disappointing. The romantic dialogue in Latin between Mariko-san and Anjin-san was quite sighable though, I will give it that. "Thou art beautiful and I love thee." Oh sigh.

there were w few items I desperately wanted to make my life whole and complete.

*Toe Ballet Shoes-but since I was under 12, I could not have any. I made due by walking around with Dixie cups on my toes.
*A Baby Chick-so cute and fluffy. I asked for one for Christmas when I was 4 or 5 and never got one. So I attempted a few times to hatch an egg from the fridge to no avail.
*A Mickey Mouse Phone-so I could call Mickey Mouse I guess.
*Stilts-all kids need stilts so they can walk around and pass as grown-ups. I compensated again with the Dixie cups.

I was fooling around with graphics and came up with a button for the group read:

Help yourself to the image if you'd like to put it on your blog -- just put link tags around the img src code to link it back to the group read. Please drop me an email if you need help with the code.

And, to any graphics gurus out there -- if you could help me understand why my text goes all funny when I shrink my buttons, I would be most grateful.

Ahhh...You are Ken & Barbie as Aragorn and Arwen of
