The Golden Compass Books

[carb]

Does anyone have a copy of the first Golden Compass book? I'd like to read it prior to the movie coming out.

I do I do! What's a convenient transfer method?

Hmm, are you still living with Brandi and Jessica? Were you ever living with Brandi and Jessica?

Alternatively I can just pick it up in the evening hour one day.

Yes I'm still living with them at the library. I'll be home after ~9:30 tomorrow and for more of the evening on Thurs. Or I can arrange a transfer through them if that's easier. But it would be fun to see you!

ack ack ack ptooie. I spit on Philip Pullman and the über-condescending tone in his writing! (The story is entertaining, though. I would just never give it to children. There's more reader-challenging drivel in Nancy Drew books...)

But, but, but... Talking Anthropomorphic POLAR BEAR!

Seriously though, I just wanted to read the first book. I promise I will not pass them on to children like some sort of illicit substance.

good. it's one of my mini life missions to keep Pullman away from children. Even Anderson & Brothers Grimms' fairy tales are more challenging! (after finishing His Dark Materials, I now understand why kids are doing so poorly in school. IT'S THE AUTHORS' FAULTS! Writing down instead of up, sheesh. Captain Underpants indeed.)
