used to listen to the audiobook in the car with my family, but i'm so glad i waited until i was older to read the book. genuinely one of the most interesting fantasy stories i've ever read; a hero's journey loaded with dramatic irony and the most engaging rabbit protagonists you could ever ask for.
the descriptions of the south english downs are summery and beautiful for the reader, but always with the understanding that for the rabbits, this place is hostile and dangerous; the risk of death constant.
if i had to boil it down to just one word, it would be this: compelling

πI have read this book three time since I first read it at 17. The last time I read it was two summers ago and the ending still made me cry.
The world-building and the mythology that Richard Adam makes for these rabbits is amazing!
All time fave! And entertaining for all ages!

πI forgot how nice it was to be read to. Like in real life. Especially when itβs a childhood classic, specifically Alices adventures in wonderland.

if you start zooming in on a pattern, and the pattern doesn't seem to get more simple as you close in, there's a very good chance you're looking at a fractal shape. my new computer hobby is going on google earth (clean setting - no borders or labels) and zooming into random places to see if i can find these patterns. and they are everywhere. in rivers, mountains, deserts, forests, coastlines and on and on. its genuinely stunning, and a little bit frightening, how the same shapes appear over and over again. the beating heart of iterative processes is plastered all over the globe at every scale. from above, the shape of a forest can look like a leaf, or a neuron, or a blood vessel.
great place to have a zoom is at the bottom of tibet, where theres a sharp cutoff between the icy mountain range and the grassy forests of nepal and bhutan. pic below is of the nile river in southern egypt. happy travels everyone
