7. I'm going to disagree with everyone else about HDM (The Golden Compass bored the hell out of me), but really, JKR being the best ever? Are you serious?

Read some George R. R. Martin, or some Terry Pratchett. PTerry is probably something you'd love. Cripes, if you think of JKR as amazing, PTerry will blow your mind. HP is far from the best series ever -- it's immaturely written, and the characters aren't... really... that great.

WORD.

A double helping of word.

I second the Terry Pratchett recommendation~ he's truly an amazing author.

I feel the same way about The Golden Compass. The boredom was painful. I'm hoping that (and this is the sad part) the movie might be able to shed some light on what Pullman was trying to do because I gave up on him long ago. :(

Not to make you try again or anything, because that would be irritating, but if you ever get curious about HDM again I thought it might be worth it to mention that I feel the story really gets more interesting in the second book. I enjoyed The Golden Compass well enough, but I only really got into it in The Subtle Knife. I've heard a lot of other people say that TGC is pretty dull compared to the other two, as well.

Unfortunately I doubt the movie will shed light on much, as they're rewriting the story so as to not deal with religion, and the books kind of... redefine religion.
