In a world teetering on the edge of absurdity, Lynne Bryan’s "Like Rabbits" hops onto the literary scene with all the grace of a slightly tipsy hare. Published in 2002 by Sceptre—yes, the same publisher that once thought “How to Train Your Dragon” would be a bestseller—this novel begs the question: what do rabbits have to do with anything? While the answer eludes even the most cunning of literary sleuths, it certainly sets the stage for a romp through the peculiar landscape of human quirks and rabbit-like behaviors. Imagine if Lewis Carroll had a coffee date with a modern-day existentialist and decided to write a book. The result would likely be this quirky exploration of life, love, and the oddity of existence. Bryan’s writing, with its droll wit and whimsical observations, might just make you rethink what it means to be “like rabbits.” Are we hopping through life unaware of our surroundings, or are we merely chasing our own tails in a never-ending loop of existential crisis? One can only speculate as Bryan guides readers through this maze of metaphorical lettuce leaves. This book is not merely a story; it’s a philosophical inquiry wrapped in a fable of sorts. Are we, like rabbits, endlessly reproducing our own mistakes? Do we live in burrows of our own making, blissfully ignorant of the world outside? Bryan’s prose winks at you with the charm of a rabbit who knows it shouldn’t be on the road but does so anyway, causing a minor traffic incident in the process. You might find yourself laughing at the absurdity of it all, while simultaneously pondering your own life choices—an exercise that might prove both enlightening and mildly depressing. In a plot as twisty as a rabbit’s burrow, Bryan introduces an array of characters who embody various traits reminiscent of our furry friends: the jumpy optimist, the hibernating cynic, and the ever-so-curious wanderer. Each character seems to represent a different slice of life, showcasing the delightful chaos of human nature as they scuttle about in search of meaning (or perhaps just a snack). With every turn of the page, you’ll be left wondering if these characters are reflections of people you know—or perhaps even a mirror of your own idiosyncrasies. If you’re the kind of reader who enjoys digging into the absurdities of everyday life, then you’ll find “Like Rabbits” to be a treasure trove of quirky insights. It’s a commentary on the human condition disguised as a whimsical jaunt through the rabbit hole of existence, all delivered with a side of irony that would make even the most stoic of readers crack a smile. Bryan’s playful language dances across the pages, inviting you to question not just the characters, but also yourself. Condition: This copy has experienced a life of its own, showing signs of previous adventures—slightly dog-eared corners, a few ink smudges that may or may not be remnants of someone’s existential crisis, and the sort of musty scent that only second-hand books can offer. These characteristics only add to its charm, presenting a narrative that’s as rich in experience as the prose itself. It’s like finding a well-loved teddy bear at a car boot sale: worn, perhaps a bit frayed at the edges, but bursting with stories and character. So, if you fancy a jaunt through the whimsical and the mildly absurd, “Like Rabbits” might just be the book for you. It prompts the reader to ponder the delightful quirks of life, reminding us that while we may not always be in control of our destinies, we can certainly choose how we react to the chaos around us. And remember, at the end of the day, we’re all just a bunch of rabbits trying to figure out which way to hop next.

Kenya (Sanaa Lathan) is a successful African-American lawyer in her mid-thirties whose personal life is not going as well as her career. While she's attractive and intelligent, Kenya has rather high standards and isn't willing to settle for a man who isn't everything she wants. While attending a party, Kenya is introduced to Brian (Simon Baker), a landscape architect who handles the gardening at her host's mansion. Brian is immediately and obviously attracted to Kenya, through she doesn't feel the same way at all. However, she likes his work and hires him to refurbish her garden; before long, he asks her out on a date, and against her better judgment she accepts. While Kenya and Brian have little in common, in time they hit it off, and a romance begins to blossom between them. However, Brian happens to be white, which ruffles some feathers among Kenya's friends and family, who try to find her a more suitable, African-American suitor.

It’s Thames & Hudson’s World of Art series, which means it’s small enough to fit in your bag but bold enough to transform a train ride into an art pilgrimage. This book is part biography, part gallery tour, part dare—because once you’ve flipped through O’Keeffe’s reds, whites, and desert yellows, you might never look at a flower, or a femur, or a horizon the same way again.
