Books 38-39 of 50
So, I'm not sure I'll reach my goal of 50 this year, but that's defintiely influenced by grad school (of course, i'd be passed 50 if i read every book we were assigned...) - and the intensive summer latin where there's no time to do anything else.
But there's a chance I'll do this again next year. And who knows, maybe I'll read 11 books before the end of the calendar year. Anything is possible.
38. Title: The Golden Compass
Author: Phillip Pullman
Pages: 399
Date Finished: 20 december
Thoughts: I enjoyed it. In a way, it's the kind of young adult novel I could see myself writing. I love all the detail about the Magisterium and everything. I agree with Doc Tyler that they dumbed it down too much in the movie. But I still enjoyed the movie, but it does make it harder for adapting the other books into film.
39. Title:The Subtle Knife
Author: Phillip Pullman
Pages:
Date Finished: 21 december
Thoughts:Started this last night and kept refilling the tub with hot water today so I could finish it. had the LotR feel of a hand in every pot and numerous subplots and all. A bit like a Russian novel. I do like the rewriting of scripture and that people aren't always what they seem and the interconnectedness of it all. Can't wait to see how it all wraps up in the end.
