Redwall - when is it too much?

When do you know you've read too much Redwall?

When you're down to only needing Sable Queen, Rogue Crew, and Legend of Luke, but the resident child has read them *all*?

When you start feeling a special aversion to anything that sounds remotely like Skilly-n-Duff?

When nothing on your plate at dinner time remotely compares to the delicious descriptions of the delectable dainties found in Redwall?

When you strive (and succeed!) to speak only in riddles or songs?

When you always have a smile on?

When you start saying "Burr Okie!" or "Burr Oi!" instead of "Of course!"?

Or when you tease each other with the words, "You bottomless stomach!" to which the recipient responds, "I'm not rabbit! I'm a hare! Wot, wot!"

When you start to believe that good really *does* triumph over evil?

When this booklet just looks too cool:

What about you and your family? What books have you read that have changed your life in unexpected, awkward or amusing ways?

I bet you have at least one, wot-wot!
