After Jenny and I saw The Golden Compass, she let me borrow her copy of Lyra's Oxford, which is also by Philip Pullman. It's a short story with several different intriguing clues to a potentially more involved companion story in his forth-coming collection of short stories, The Book of Dust. I read it on the train out to Jersey, which I will write more about later. Right now my appetite is whetted for more of Lyra's world.

I just went from this book, in Amazon, to the Pullman trilogy, and was stunned by the reviews. how fanasstic!
Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is pretty darned amazing. They're written for young adults, but carry a lot of very mature themes that are both thought-provoking and well-crafted narratives. If you haven't read them, I definitely suggest them.
yes i will get them! I am sorry you haven't been feeling well. we have the same problem with one of my sons at the same time you get your problems with migraines. he cannot tell us, but I think that is what it is. You don't take any special meds? he does. well I wish you felt better.
I do take special medicine at times. Though it is extremely expensive and my new insurance hasn't kicked in yet.
