The Golden Compass
"Scenes of great power and beauty," says the review on the back cover. Tristan and Honora read the His Dark Materials trilogy this summer. I am starting on the Golden Compass for the second time, but the first time was thirteen years ago, when Tristan was eight and I read it out loud. It feels odd to read it to myself and I recognize the plot and characters only when I come upon them.
I'm trying to make time to read. I like to read but the openings don't occur naturally, so I'm being more forceful about making it happen. I know that must seem odd to my flist friends, many of whom read every day and "too much," but I also make myself busy so I don't always read for months at a time. By read, I mean books, as opposed to the internet and newspapers and magazines.
The Golden Compass is a wonderful book.
