I'm still grumpy about Northern Lights > The Golden Compass. One, it reinforced the insulting stereotypes that Americans are ignorant of anything outside their own country, and two, an alethiometer is not a compass.

I agree, but then I'm also like...what about the parallelism with the titles of the next two books? But I agree.

Was that title change about Americanization? That is really weird because as an American I would never think of the Northern Lights as a "foreign" thing. We get them in the northern parts of the country, and even growing up in the mideast I knew about that, and images of them were everywhere. Expecting Americans not to know what the Northern Lights are would be like expecting us not to know what an iceberg is.

I always thought it was changed because by the time of US publication, the other two books' titles had been chosen and they wanted the first one to fit the theme.

That...actually makes a lot more sense. Huh.

LOL, get over it. It was nearly twenty years ago, and the change was an improvement.
