Philip Pullman .. very cool, especially His Dark Materials

Don't tell me how it ends as I've been falling asleep to it in Wellington libraryy (life is cool) ... that's not a bad thing, it's like having a cat on your lap, I'm home and it is very comfortable. Mind you the 2nd book got me in to Wellington airport that last Monday without screaming like an 11-month-old and/or a Kunikuni ... I was totally absorbed and only noticed we had landed when I head *ping*, "Welcome to Wellington airport blah blah blah ..."

But man, it's a great trilogy, and about to be a movie ... read it first, truly, it's book first unlike Harry Potter which is both a movie and a book ... read the Dark Materials BEFORE seeing the movie ... but don't tell me what happens ...
