I love His Dark Materials!! Hmmm... my daemon... I think it would either be like a tiger or leopard or otherwise some sort of a bird. Not quite sure. *shrugs*

I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. (Especially since you obviously love LotR  ) Let us all know how you like them.

My daemon would probably be a snake. I've only read the Golden Compass, in the middle of it actually.

Oh, I loved these books when I read them! I'm afraid I can't say a single thing about them, though, because I've not read them in agessss....I really have a list of books I'm supposed to read for people on here...I just keep forgetting where I put it.

I just finished reading the Golden Compass today! Now I can't wait to get my hands on The Subtle Knife. There's still so many unanswered questions...
My daemon would probably be an eagle, I think. Majestic and noble, but fierce if need be.

I LOVE this series!!  I read it about 2 years ago, then I re-read the books over Christmas  I think my favorite book was probably The Golden Compass. The Amber Spyglass's ending just upset me too much. Otherwise that would be my favorite  If I had a daemon, it would probably be some kind of dog. Not because I want to be a servant  , but because I LOVE dogs. Maybe a wolf....

Hearing so many good things about these books, I decided to read them.
I'm on the Golden Compass and well...
Am I the only one finding it hard to get into? I mean, I know it starts out (kinda sorta) right in the action, but I wasn't drawn in at all. Maybe it's because I'm confused about all the terms they use. I don't know...
Possibly any tips or anything of the sort?

What bit are you at Gwen? I think you might like it better once they set off for the north. I don't remember struggling to get into it but it was about 8 years ago that I first read it so I can't be sure.
Here's a few meaings of some of the words they use, let me know if there's others you're not sure about:
Alethiometer - Symbol reader that tells you the truth
Aurora Borealis/ Northern Lights - the lights you can see in the sky in the north
Daemon - A person's soul which is in the shape of an animal. Children's can change shape but adults' can't
Panserbjørne - Armored polar Bear
Obligation Board/ Gobblers - Something which is taking children away
Gyptians - A type of Gypsy who travel in canal boats

^Ohhh, thank you so much Elanor!
I'm pretty much at the beginning when she's (I forgot her name at the moment) listening to the talk within the wardrobe.

No problem
Don't worry about not understanding what's they're talking about at the moment then. Lyra doesn't understand it either and it all gets explained later.

Ok, yeah, I kind of figured that. A lot of books leave you in the dark for a while.

I got to say I love this series. Philip Pullman is a fantastic writer. But he has one downfall.
He can't write a good battle scene. Which is a real shame because the rest of the story is amazing. The build up through the first two books, and the beginning of the third is fantastic, and I loved reading it. But the battle at the end was, to be quite frank, a let down. But a great tale nonetheless.
