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!

ahh, yes. I anticipated that. I do, in fact, have all three books, and expect to not be able to resist the shiny, red, jolly, candy like temptation of the next in the series. I'm ok with that.

the goal is to not automatically hate the movie. :-)

(I don't know if I can hold off much longer! I hope that movie comes soon!)
