Rabbit Hill was the only bunny book I ever got around to. Except for Beatrix Potter stuff. And the Max and Ruby books, thanks to Sara.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ann, that's a ferret.
Not exactly a classic, but Stephen King's novella "The Body" (later became the movie Stand By Me) fits the quest theme.

Oh, yes! I forgot! (Speaking of which, you have to read the bandom fic AU of Bunnicula, Sophia. Hysterical.)

When I reread Watership Down four years ago for the first time in 25 years, I was reminded of what a damn good story it is, a truly epic work.

Thanks for the great ideas!
The collection with "The Body" is the only Stephen King i've read. I know some of his stuff is dystopian--anything I should include on that list?

The Stand. One of his better books too.

Second The Stand. But there are two versions. When it was originally published during the '70s, editors trimmed quite a bit. He republished the original version in the early '90s, with the trimmed parts added back in.
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon might qualify as a quest -- it's about a girl lost in the woods and trying to get out. But it seems kind of tangential to the quest theme, and it isn't very memorable.
