Hi, Joanne & all: Isn't that funny? I found the whole Pullman trilogy enormously compelling and ran out to read all his other books when I'd finished _Amber spyglass._ I think this discussion just goes to prove how important it is to stock all those books we just don't 'get.' Someone likes them, even if we don't. (And our favorites may be quite dull to others.) Take care, Robin -- Robin Shtulman Librarian Greenfield Middle School Greenfield, MA http://gmsl.blogspot.com/ robsht1@gpsk12.org 413-772-1360 ext. 221 Quoting JProctor <joproctor@COX.NET>: > I agree with Carol.
