The latest reading selection from The Sword and Laser online book club has been announced, and it’s Watership Down by Richard Adams.  I love this book!  Per the description on the back cover from Amazon:

A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for over thirty years, Richard Adams’s Watership Down is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England’s Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.

I’ve recommended this book to several people, and am looking forward to this “excuse” to read it again.  If you haven’t joined The Sword and Laser book club, this would be an excellent book to join us in reading!
