A friend and I went and it was a mesmerizing experience. Burton and most of the cast were dressed either in black or very dark colors and during some of the scenes, Burton carried a red kerchief which he kept waving about distracting the audience. Loved it!Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-7763500533292848952010-12-08T15:10:15.033-05:002010-12-08T15:10:15.033-05:00Just quickly -- you saw Richard Burton in Hamlet! ...Just quickly -- you saw Richard Burton in Hamlet!

After a few pages you forget you're reading about these small animals and begin to see the wider picture that Adams was going for. What a splendid adventure. I love the book. Even with my faulty memory, there are parts of Watership Down I've just never forgotten.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-41548888436833127242010-12-06T18:26:37.155-05:002010-12-06T18:26:37.155-05:00I haven't read KUBLA KHAN since college.

I have no idea why I have such a block on that book but I just cannot even begin to think of reading a book about rabbits. On the other hand, I did quite like ANIMAL FARM!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-71416079677238768672010-12-06T10:46:37.466-05:002010-12-06T10:46:37.466-05:00Juxtabook: Simply put: You must make the time to r...Juxtabook: Simply put: You must make the time to read WATERSHIP DOWN.
