Has anyone reading this ever read the book series 'His Dark Materials'? If not perhaps you are familiar with the movie based on book one of the series titled 'The Golden Compass'. Sadly the movie was not a success and the second and third books were never made into films. I highly recommend the series to any one who enjoys fantasies, although it does not stick to the mainstream plot type of most fantasy literature of the last twenty or so years (with is a good thing and why I so highly recommend this book to any one looking for a good read).
Book 1: The Golden Compass
Book 2: The Subtle Knife
Book 3: The Amber Spyglass
Let me just say one more thing and I will end this post, these are definitely the best books I have ever read and I sincerely hope you read them. (P.S I am not the author and I have no affiliation with him).

I've read "His Dark Materials" and would like to say they are a fantastic series.

The movie "The Golden Compass" was well done in my opinion, although I am unsure of whether they changed too many components to continue the series in movie format. I would love to see the series completed on films though. The books have been one of my favourites for years and I actually have the books within arms' length.

Have you read any of Philip Pullman's other works?

I've read them all. IMO Golden Compass was the best of the three. The others seemed to get increasingly mystical/apocalyptic/anti-religion and frankly kind of weird. :o
Never seen the movie, though. I'll add it to my list of movies to watch.

^ What other works of his would you recommend, Adam?
