    You'll lose a bit though imo. The fun thing about Watership Down were things like how the rabbit looks and describes the world

    well i think it translated quite well
    it is at least better that some of the other thinks i brought at the bookshop
    i won a pas where you could buy 50 euros of books with
    but i still think The Hitchhiker's Guide to the universe is better

    well lord of the ring is a classic to
    and still very good

    Lord of the ring is too detailed...
    It makes me feel long-winded just reading it

    it is but compered to the movie of the hobbit..
    250 pages for the hobbit has more movie time that the 1500+ pages of lord of the ring

    and compared to some the Chinese novels on this site it is not long winded
    if one of those xianxia writers get to rewrite lord of the ring it would be at least 10 times as long

    Hahahaha I totally understand. Speaking of long-winded, ever tried Endgame by James Frey? The POVs are really done well. Or Red Rising by Pierce Brown?

    I actually avoid cn novels with too much chapters. Sometimes, plot lines gets reused way to many times

    The last one... Fablehaven?
    Fantasy, I kinda like Rick Riordan (but I absolutely hate how he does cliff-hangers *grrr*). And Brandon Sanderson. I'm probably missing a lot of names here since it has been a while since I read an english title.

    and talking about rick riordan
    i liked his first book sersie
    the second was less good but still a good read
    the Egyptians serie was short but good
    but his latest works like the ones about apolo
    or the norse gods.
    i think are huge let dows

    Ahh true. I like his second series, the one where they added roman mythology. Cause I like the characters more.

    My current favorite is actually The Ascendance Trilogy by Jennifer Nielsen. The protag's personality was really well fleshed and the plot was so good imo.

    Anyway, I should get back to sleep... I'm done calming my heart from a nightmare. Nice talking to you~
