Thus far, I love it.

The Subtle Knife - Philip Pullman

I'd forgotten how much I love these books.


I love that one too..my favourite of the 3 I think...

btw I'm reading:
-"Tree" of Tolkien- How the Lord of the Rings influenced the culture of our time, by Gianfranco De Turris
-Tolkien-The Lord of the Fantasy, by Andrea Monda and Saverio Simonelli

I didn't think I could find such interesting books written by italian authors...

I'm currently reading "Utopia" by Sir Thomas More.

I've always wanted to read this...I just never actually did. :P So I went to the library and checked it out. I'm surprised at how short it is. I suppose the actual Latin version would be longer. ;)
But, it's fascinating. I love social satire. :P

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson

It has changed my life. I have converted to Pastafarianism!

"We share 95% of our DNA with chimpanzees, and yet we share 99.9% of our DNA with Pirates.
I ask you, who is the more likely common ancestor?"
I mean, have you ever heard such logic? *Puts on his eyepatch*

1984 by George Orwell.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally pick up this book. So far it's amazing, though some of the concepts are a little dizzying when you think about them too much.
