^.^ I'm back again!! Hey, I think I fit in pretty well, too. Lots of people crazy about reading (and just plain crazy) just like me! YAY! :lol:

Oh! Oh! Let's talk about The Golden Compass and His Dark Materials series! It's going to be a classic, I just know it. It was as popular in England as Harry Potter was/is! I can't wait until the movie comes out...they've just started production of it. Philip Pullman is a pure genius!

Hey Vicki...because I'm lazy and will probably forget to ask you at lunch tomorrow...have you read it? We've probably talked about it, or I've probably asked you about it, but I forget. You know I have a pile of books up in my room that I really have to return to literary circle...hehe.

 

[btvaughn]

Amy...are you calling me crazy, just b/c I'm in the insano family? Hmmmm? Well, ok you are and you're right!

But really, what's the Golden Compass series about?

I read the Golden Compass a loooong time ago, and I've completely forgotten what it's about. But I know that I liked it! Wasn't there a little pet/spirit/whatchamacallit that every person had. And there were people who were trying to take them away? Or am I just insane?

 

[alias_fan]

i have to add that to my list! i heard it was good!

No, kate_jones, you're right! The little pet/spirit things are called daemons, and they're like a reflection of your spirit/personality. I like thinking about what animal my daemon would be...:onder::
But yes, in the story the villains are trying to "cut" the daemons away from the children. It's been awhile since I've read the book...I need to read it again!

No problem, Vicki! I'll bring the book in to school tomorrow! ^.^ It's actually sitting upstairs in my room right now. Somewhere. LOL.
That reminds me to go look for "Poisonwood Bible". I swear I have it around here somewhere!

Has anyone read Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"? I just started it...

::Hugs her new family:: I love you all! (^.^) And Vicki...sister dear...did you remember to take your ginko biloba this morning?

If you like Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre, you should check out Tess of the D'Ubervilles, at least that is how my AP British Literature course goes.
