Thread Name: BS: Philip Pullmans Dark Materials
Subject: RE: BS: Philip Pullmans Dark Materials
Most of the fiction I read is childrens/young adults fantasy. In fact, I never stopped reading it, I even did a special project on children's fantasy when I was studying Librarianship in the early '70's.

I currently have 14 fantasies from my local libraries on the table behind my laptop as I peck away.

Some fantasies are total pap, some stay in my head forever. Some I love so much that I have to buy them because I want to re-read them & somehow manage to fit them in my bookshelves.

I read the first 2 of His Dark Materials & returned the final one to the library unread. I also read his series set in 1870's London & disliked that too.

I enjoyed the Harry Potter books (how big will the next one be? & when is is due??) & have also added them to my collection.
