fair warnign watership down is avery heart rending story. I remember it beign extremely graphic (the movie) and extremely real life. If you are one (like myself) who is affected by senseless destruction and violence, you might wish you had not seen this movie, or read the book.

I have just reopened..... April Fool's Day- Bryce Courtenay And I have to say....am so absorbed back into the retelling of Bryce's son's life, and his challenges with Hemaphelia, and then Aids. It is an honour to read it again.

The song that someone was trying to remember from the film Watership Down is Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel

Yes!!! Thankyou illusion, it was.... No Kim, it doesn't have a happy ending, it is a true story of Bryce Courtenay's son, Damon, and his life...a father's way of honouring his son.

LIVE YOUR DREAMS by Les Brown. I read it after my divorce as a single mom with four kids.

I like those Chicken Soup For The Soul books. I am reading Chicken Soup For The Single Mothers Soul right now. I enjoy reading about other single mothers and there experience. Makes me feel that I am not alone in the single parenting roll, and that others do have the problems that I may have. There is a mixture of humorous and serious stories in it. And I enjoy reading them all.

Richard Adams is the author of "Watership Down." As for the topic of this thread, my list is as large as my imagination and I can only answer for my favorite authors- I would start with one of my heros-Kurt Vonnegut-who recently passed away.

Hello Tant. I enjoy reading the real story about real people. It is refreshing.

I recently read the John Updike "Rabbit" series (4 novels and a short story sequel) and I am still amazed at the sheer quality of the man's work. His "Bech" books are well worth a read, too.
