Watership Down is by far one of my favorite books ever. I usually read it in the spring though. LOTR is my winter selection.

Always loved this book. I’ve read it multiple times over the years.
And you’re right, sometimes going back to old classics give you a whole new perspective on them. I remember getting Willy Wonka and Mary Poppins to read to my kids a while back, and realized just how strange those books really are. I still love Narnia, though, and most of the other books I read as a child.
Guardians of Gahoolie is a really good talking animals series, too- about owls, and the Warriors (cats) are good too. My oldest daughter is a bookworm like me, and she devoured both series.

Beverly, it still may not grab you. Don’t feel bad. There are way too many books out there to read to keep banging away at ones that don’t do it for you. It’s the books job to entertain you, not the other way around.

I have tried to, as well, and ran into the same snags! But, because of all these posts, I’m going to pick it up again and get myself through it. (This project will be similar to my trying black olives every time I’m around them: I am determined to discover what it is about them that everyone likes!)
