I'm reading the final chapters of The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. Books don't usually bring me to tears, but some passages in this triology, especially this last installment, have had me dabbing continuously at my eyes (and blowing my nose). At first, I thought I was coming down with a cold, but I think it's just the book.I hope to finish the book tonight, but unfortunately I have class to go to now. The book will have to wait...

I haven't read any of this series -- I'm looking forward to your further comments to see if it's something to add to my reading list.
I often need to have tissues handy when reading...
Hi scb!
If you decide to read it, I'd be very interested in what you think. One of my problems with it is its sometimes simplistic portrayal of organized religion... when I was an anthropologist, that's what I studied and would have written my dissertation on. So as rich as the novel is in so many respects, it was a little one-dimensional in that regard.
Only one chapter left!
