Let's know what reading delights you discover.
Just finished the new Philip Pullman, La Belle Sauvage. Excellent YA fantasy.
it is much more like a fantastical Boys Own adventure-spy thriller set around a river, and is relatively less profligate with all the awesomeness found in NL. Very nice character development and some properly creepy bits. I liked it for what it is, and I suspect it will build into something fine.Ah, good. I don't know anyone else who's read it yet. Did you think it compared with the HDM trilogy? For me, though deftly written, it doesn't have the adventure-romp imagination-packed charm of Northern Lights, nor the other-worlds interest of The Subtle Knife.
I seem to remember enjoying this thirty years ago but now I can't get past the intentionally 'pulpy' style.I've got me a big thick old one.
Started reading it today, last read in the late eighties.
L Ron Hubbard "Battlefield Earth"
I can't remember too much of the plot, what I do remember has been overridden by the John Travolta film

Sebastian Haffner's Defying Hitler was perhaps my nonfiction book of the year.
