I've never read that book or watched the film, but appreciate they're loved by many people.

RIP Richard.

Plague Dogs was far more upsetting than Watership Down.

A brilliant writer. Thanks for the treasures, Mr. Adams.

Never got into the film, but it's a great book. I've even visited Watership Down once, and hope to go again. Currently rereading it too. Sad news.

Predictive text, Mikey. :-)

I didn't like Shardik as much as his other novels.

We are certainly going through a bad spell at the moment :o(

Very sad, but he was 96, Liz Smith was 95, they can't go on forever, yet.
