A list like that does sound exhausting. Oh you said exhaustive.
I don't have one but welcome and good luck.

and this one is good, too: more lists. by the way, I just googled "list of prefixes"... and I wanted to let you know that your signature link doesn't work.

Hijacking to say welcome to the forum--and I LOVED Bigwig! Watership Downs is an all time favorite of mine.

I endured much peer pressure when I first read it in the 8th grade, but it was worth it.

Is it bad that I really can't recall how old I was the first time I read it? It was after Black Beauty, so post 3rd grade, but before I started reading Xanth, so before 5th grade. I read it over the summer, and kept rabbits, so of course they were all renamed.

I, too, couldn't get through Plague Dogs. I've always said I would give it another try someday. I'd not heard of Maia, maybe I'll put it on my Christmas list!

Odd--The Plague Dogs is the first book that made me cry at the end of it. I've read Maia as well, but didn't enjoy it as much as Watership Downs.

Plague Dogs disturbed me too deeply to finish it. I was much younger then, so perhaps I could get through it now, but not sure I want to.

Both of those I understand--it is not a light hearted read.

I first encountered Watership down as a child of 8 years. I never read the book, but I recall clearly the images of the big screen flickering their reflections. The allure and fun of the cinema had promised a cartoon of adventure, and, a day off school.
I didn't understand what myxamotosis was, neither do I think did our teachers. But, it wasn't about that. What was it about? It was about the images I retained. The big bunny eyes, the fences, the characters, the music, and the heroes. For me it bridged the gap between 'Playtime' and 'Lunchtime'. It set within me a sense of empathy for animals for which I am grateful. It was talked about by my friends for weeks. And thought about by me for years.

oh olly, the book is sooo much better than the movie. (though, as I recall, they did a pretty good job with the film adaptation.)
and "Myxomatosis" is one of my favorite Radiohead songs.
