I finished Watership Down. I enjoyed the first half, it kind of dragged through the second half. I sped read through the final 1/4 because I wanted to finish the book and start something new. I can appreciate why this is a classic. I rated it 3 stars on Goodreads.
I found it a struggle to constantly have to refer to the Lapine Glossary, and I should have taken notes once I learned a new word. But I enjoyed the relationship between the rabbits and overall it was a positive experience.
For my next book, I am pondering Kindred by Octavia E. Butler. I bought it the other day for $3 from a Riffle email. (I also own Parable of the Sower).
When I went to add it to my Goodreads "Want to Read" list, I noticed one of my GR friends rated it 5 and the other rated it 1 (putting it on the 'worst of 2017 shelf. I will start reading to see if I want to continue before I add it to my "currently reading. It does come highly rated overall on GR, but I am sometimes swayed by the opinions of others, and therefore want to give it a shot for myself.
