His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. I just found it at Wal-mart, couldn't resist. It's a trilogy. Not that I don't have enough to read

You'll love it! I just finished the trilogy myself. I suggest you do not leave long stretches between reading it...there is a lot going on and if you put it down for a while and come back to it, you will have to backtrack a bit.
Be sure to finish the first book before December 7, when the movie comes out. It looks to be excellent!

Very good choice, Brooks. I'm sure I mentioned young Philip before. Shannon, too, has just finished the trilogy.
What are your daemons, everyone? I think mine is a small wolfXshark.
Anyone else in love with the Bear?
ps - Terrie : 'His Dark Materials' - That's the trilogy which is in your package for delivery. If you don't like/don't want - then please forward!

Ah....but you can find out your daemon by going to this site. (One of the kids at the library told me about it.) www.goldencompassmovie.com/Click on Daemons and follow the directions. Apparently I have Sergius, the hare, because I am "responsible, modest, solitary, shy and dependable ." (I quibble with the modesty bit. Don't you think I brag about my horse too much!?) |

Gosh! What a great site. And what a surprise.
My daemon is a crow : Alexius. My dog is Alexis. I am solitary, too, Ann. I wonder why?

I hope so, Terrie. I thought so. So that's why I sent them. (There are three!) Lyra is younger than young and - older than time! Find your own alethiomoter... And got to love that bear..  |

I lOVED those books! Very imaginative and original. I can't wait to see how they adapted the book to the movies. Thanks for the link Ann, that was fun! My daemon is Gabriel the Gibbon, because according to the test I am "modest, solitary, shy, assertive and spontaneous". !!! Cute monkey |
