The most recent book i read was The Golden Compass. It was a part of the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman. The book came out in 1995 and there was a movie that came out staring Nicole Kidman and Sam Elliott in 2007. I remember that movie distinctly because I was working at a movie theater at the time and the ad played constantly on the monitors (they also let me take home one of the posters because we had hundreds of them).

The book is decent. The theme seems to be mostly about the advantage of having knowledge and how it can benefit society or be used to harm society in either the advance of knowledge or one’s own endeavors. There are a couple sequels. I’m interested to finally get to them, because when I first visited this book, it didn’t hook me enough to stick with it. I’m a little more hooked now.

I also know there’s an Amazon series that covers it all. I’ll probably get to that to. I’m aware the series has an Atheist bend to it, because I believe the plot of The Amber Spyglass involves god being the antagonist and the main characters killing him.

I guess we’ll see.
