Fast forward to today - Wednesday May 9th

I lifted the below blog entry from my other site http://blissings.blogspot.com/ because I was unsure as to where or when I had written about 'His Dark Material':

Unputdownable

You know that word, ‘unputdownable'?
Well after it was coined someone decided to do it justice.
His name? Philip Pullman.
The justice? A yummy little trilogy entitled ‘His Dark Material."
I read these books in three days.
I have been reading for years now, and nothing, and no one has come close to kind of incredible story telling. The adventures are on every single page.

Perhaps most incredulous of all, is that Philip Pullman considers himself an atheist.
Well, that's similar to when someone said in reference to Abraham - Hicks, "Abraham we never hear you talking about God."

Philip talks about Consciousness nonstop in his books, which he refers to as Dust.

I know I am not writing coherently here, that's because I just finished the series and I really want everyone to go out and get a copy now. The Universe will still be here, but you the reader will be in a different place all together.

I love these books better than Potter, Narnia, and LOR trilogy. If the Matrix was a book, I'd like them better than the Matrix too.


One of my many favorite quotes:

"As she lay in the fork of the great branches, she felt a kind of bliss she had only felt once before; and that was not when she made her vows as a nun.

These books are rich, vibrant and full of everything you can ever imagine.

I'm going through withdrawal from Lyra Belacqua's worlds.

After a year and 3months, I have found a book that ranks with ‘His Dark Material.'

The Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini.

These books are simply magical. I feel the same sense of high, deep, all encompassing adventure I felt when I read His Dark Material.

Like Pullman, Paolini is a genius at story telling. I am still reading Eragon, but I had to break to let you know how fabulous this tale is.
