Well, according to GameInformer™: "The Golden Compass follows the story of a young girl named Lyra Belacqua who lives in an alternate version of our world. In this place, all humans have a constant animal companion called a daemon that is essentially part of their being. Lyra's adventure begins when she sets off with a group called the Gyptians to rescue her friend Rodger and the many other children who have been kidnapped by the mysterious Gobblers.She eventually obtains an alethliometer (a.k.a the golden compass),which will answer any question you ask it by pointing to a series of coded symbols.Lyra is one of only a few people in the world who can actually decipher these codes."Quote:

Currently I'm continuing with a re-read of ON THE ROAD by Jack Kerouac. At some point, I'll start in on ANANSI BOYS by Neil Gaiman.
I also loved the ending to Cell.
at first I was a little surprised
but, after going over the details
i got the answers i was looking for
in King's words.
it was great.
currently reading:
I'm re-reading Hearts in Atlantis
but almost finished with that
I think i'm going to download Lisey's story
to my Ipod tonight actually.
I hated the 'ending' to Cell.
Tamez, you must PM me these answers of which you spreak. Please. :)Quote:

^^ I also loved the Cell ending - great Book overall. (one of those I'll re-read many a time).
Still on my current LotR re-read.
Bought Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road' at the weekend so that'll be next.
I'm currently reading:
The Eyes Of The Dragon (again)
W&G (again)
Shivers IV
We're All In This Together
Mid Life Confidential
I started listening to the last half of A Clash of Kings on audio book between reading the Dresden stuff.
wizard and glass (cheating-audiobook)
The Count of Monte Cristo
The World is Flat (I've been muddling through this bastard since December)
The Audacity of Hope (i'm still muddling through this one as well)
rereading Choke
[QUOTE=Hannah;5107]The Count of Monte Cristo
Shit, i forgot this one on my favorite's threads.
The Count of Monte Cristo and The Four Feathers are also 2 of my favorites. I just finished a reread of it myself a couple weeks ago. Maybe another couple months and I'll do it again.
Currently rereading Atlas Shrugged, also one of my favorites.
This is my first time reading it, but I'm surprised by how quickly I am getting sucked into the story. I didn't expect it to be so readable.
Started a continuation of The Ice Limit by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
:lol: King's books are always about the journey, not the destination.
