Dark Materials

Finally got my hands on the Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. I’ve been meaning to read them for quite some time following recommendations from a whole range of people, but never found the time.

So far, they are pretty gripping reading. I’ve already finished Northern Lights and I’m ploughing through The Subtle Knife rapidly. I’m hoping I’ll get it finished by Sunday morning, so I can take The Amber Spyglass on my next set of travels – it’s a chunky book, so I reckon it should be good for a couple of flights.

Here’s a weird thing. It seems Northen Lights is called The Golden Compass elsewhere. Why do people feel the need to “dumb down” titles?

Anyway, back to the book ….
