I want to gauge interest in a post on the new Philip Pullman. Have enough of us read it yet?

I am slowly making my way through it - I love being in Lyra's world, and I'm trying to make it last as long as possible.

It struck me that one of the lessons Lyra and Will learn in The Amber Spyglass is that you can't live in a world that's not your own; stretching out this book seems like my own little rebellion against this idea.

I loved it. It was the first book in a long long time that i wasn’t disctracted from and which I devoured in two evenings. Fantastic.

I enjoyed it. A bit more political than the original trio. Interesting to see a bit more on how daemons work.
