Reading update

[amedia]

I finally finished Blue at the Mizzen, the 20th book in the Aubrey-Maturin series. Waaaah! When I started, I was awed by how much I had to read... now I wish I had as much again!

So what to read next? I pondered. I read The Golden Compass some years ago when it first came out. Bought the next book, but didn't read it, because I'd heard it stopped rather than ended, and I wanted to wait for the third. Now I've got all three, so I'm rereading the first one again. Fascinating and disturbing - I'm enjoying this thoroughly.

But I miss Jack and Stephen.

I *love* the His Dark Materials books. So you've not yet read The Amber Spyglass, then?

Not yet! My brother (a big lit sci-fi fan) knew I wanted it and got it for me for Christmas a year or two ago. But I wanted to reread #1 and read #2 first.
