Mawk, I accept your opinion of Pullman but I thoroughly disagree with it. Granted, I haven't read the trilogy in over a year, but when I did read the books, they made an impression on me. If nothing else they're good for someone my age. Have you read the books of which I speak? And how old are you?

Anyway when I refer to age I'm not talking about the reading level here, to clarify. The Amber Spyglass most of all deals with the whole growing up deal in an incredibly insightful way, considering it was written by an adult.
I don't like the names of his books, I don't his mediocre grasp of space and time theory, I don't like his mediocre grasp of most other scientific theory, I don't like his made up terminology, and I don't like the format of his books.

I also don't like HIM. I don't like the way he talks, I don't like the way he forms sentences, and I don't like the way he is so freaking up himself. He'll start talking about his ideas and opinions, and then he'll totally lose himself in it, demonstrating in crystal clarity the blathering of one who knows not of which he speaks.

I have a picture of him on my dartboard.
