Re: [LM_NET] Golden Compass - Boring?

[Robin Shtulman <robsht1@GPSK12.ORG>]

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
