If you have a moment go here: http://www.goldencompassmovie.com/ and choose your daemon! For those of you who have not yet read Philip Pullman's fantastic 'Northern Lights' trilogy, best do it now before the film of book one (The Americans have renamed it 'The Golden Compass') comes out 7th December. The books are so humane, moving and full of richness, that I rate them in my top ten fiction books. Be warned, the website is full of wonderful distractions, especially the aleithiometer, so make sure your boss isn't going to walk in whilst you are pondering metaphysical interpretations of symbols. Pullman hasn't written much since these books. Anyone know of a petition we can sign to get him to write more, and soon?
