Those things used to make me hungry as shit reading them as a kid.

The most memorable scenes for me were always the celebrations and feasts they would have in every book, and they would spend like 3 pages describing the most awesome sounding food and drinks imaginable.

blah blah blah blah

12/8/2009 6:02:41 PM

I read those books.

I remember them.

I was a nerd.

12/8/2009 6:05:35 PM

was good shit back when I was a kid

12/8/2009 6:11:04 PM

Even when I was a kid I thought it was weird that a mouse and a fox could be roughly the same size.

12/8/2009 6:14:11 PM

i read these books. it was about rodents living in a fucking abbey. and a warrior mouse. and some other ridiculous shit.

12/8/2009 6:21:21 PM

I read those...a long time ago

12/8/2009 6:22:07 PM

my mom bought me one of these books for christmas one year. i never read it.

12/8/2009 6:22:53 PM

I read I think two of them. I definitely remember reading at least the first one.

I always wondered about that too. Like how could a mole and a badger live in the same buildings? Its dimensions would be all kinds of k-razy.

i think i was just a few books into the series and then harry potter came out and i said "fuck you mouses i want that magic stick"

12/8/2009 6:25:56 PM

magic stick, eh?

12/8/2009 6:26:23 PM

The Long Patrol was the bomb.

12/8/2009 6:27:22 PM

this was the only book i ever read about rodents

12/8/2009 6:27:38 PM

^ hate

12/8/2009 6:28:31 PM

Yeah I was into these long before harry potter came out. I read like every one of them released before 1996 in a year or so, then got my first taste of having to wait for new books to come out instead of them just being there for me to read

I have the paperback of all of them released before 96, aand I've got the hardcover of Pearls of Lutra, the Long Patrol, and Marlfox (but I never read that one).

12/8/2009 6:33:44 PM

^^^ Those rabbits didn't play, that book was violent as heck.

12/8/2009 6:34:24 PM

definitely read these back in the day.

12/8/2009 6:56:25 PM

These books were epic. The Legend of Luke and The Long Patrol were my favorites. You know he's still cranking out those books? Haven't picked one up in years.

12/8/2009 6:59:44 PM

Salamandastron was my favorite book for a while (until I read Jurrassic Park)

it was a good book. your taste in literary works must be questionable.

12/8/2009 7:16:29 PM

^^ Yeah I think Martin the Warrior was the hero in Mossflower (that's the one where they build Redwall), and the book Martin the Warrior is about his early life.

12/8/2009 7:19:36 PM

Salamandastron was by far the most epic. Badger warriors. Beat that.

12/8/2009 7:25:56 PM

^^^ that book sucked.

Count of Monte Cristo was the best book I was ever forced to read.

12/8/2009 7:28:25 PM

^^ i saw a dead badger in ireland once

dropdeadkate was never forced to read a good book after freshmen year of high school, apparently.

Watership Down is fucking fantastic. There was an old animated movie they made for it, and it's bloody and violent as hell. I kept trying to imagine how they knew how the dying eyes of a rabbit looked, and I still think to this day they tortured rabbits then drew them in their various poses.

12/8/2009 8:12:23 PM

^I had that movie. It's still at my parent's place.

12/8/2009 8:25:19 PM

I love fantasy but I could never get into books where all the characters were animals. :/


Guess I have no Furry inclinations.

you sound fat

12/8/2009 9:23:34 PM

didn't the same kind of thing happen in lord of the rings?

12/8/2009 9:24:49 PM

I thought they just like to sing a fuckload of songs in Lord of the Rings. Or am I thinking of The Hobbit?

12/8/2009 9:32:50 PM

those books were good stuff.

12/8/2009 10:47:47 PM

12/8/2009 10:52:04 PM

yes i read the book in like 7th grade. it blew ass.

12/8/2009 10:53:21 PM

you blow ass. watership down fucking owns.

12/8/2009 10:53:45 PM

Note there was no denial of liking Twilight

12/9/2009 12:26:14 AM

Wasn't there a character named "Plumpkin"?

That name always enraged me as a child.

12/9/2009 1:07:13 AM

i read them. but i don't understand the hype really
