Dark Materials

Cory has discovered Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. (Confusingly, the first book is called "Northern Lights" in the UK but "The Golden Compass" in the USA. Even more gratuitous than that Potter Philosopher/Sorcerer switcheroo).

+1. They're really good. Pullman wears his metaphysics on his sleeve a bit too much, but it's a gripping tale well told.
