bookworming

Having had a rotten cold the last couple of days, I’ve stayed in bed and read and read. Over the course of three days, I’ve gobbled up the entire His Dark Materials trilogy. What a lovely, lovely set of books! I never really got into the Harry Potter thing and have to wonder why this series hasn’t received quite the publicity that the Potter series did. Of course, I’m looking forward to reading more of Phillip Pullman, despite him being classified as a children’s author. Then again, so is Tolkein, so I shouldn’t feel bad, I suppose.

Sadly, my daughter is not a fan of Potter and hasn’t taken to the Pullman books as yet either, though I hope this will change.

In my worming through books, I’ve also read the first of the Boudicca series (which I’ve not got on quite so well with) and am just starting The Glass Palace, a book about Burma in the 19th century, sent to me by my cousin and dear travelling companion.
