the golden compass

[mabjustmab]

as per the recommendations of several friends, I purchased the Golden Compass books. they arrived in a less than timely manner (screw amazon...they can bite my tuckus).

I have held off reading them now, because I hear there is a movie coming out. I am one of those rare people that like to watch the movie before reading a book. because the book is almost always better and I hate to dislike a perfectly good movie because it's "not like the book".

that movie better come out soon, damn it. I want to read these books!

alright, I will fess up. I read just a little of the book. but I stopped.

but I do have a question - what's the point of taking this meme to see what kind of daemon I have if they can just change shape?

[mankycat.livejournal.com]

Good question.

Maybe it's not so much the shape as it is the personality? Dunno. Haven't read the books, but hope to... after the movie comes out.

I don't think it's IE vs. other, because it's working and I only use firefox. :-)

actually, that's a part of the dorkery, miss mab...

other friends can now follow your link in the next twelve days and, if their answers differ from yours, your daemon WILL change.

There is a point, butyou have to read the books to find out what it is. No giveaways here!

Some of my favorite books ever. And look, we're both snow leopards. Lutheus says hello.
