| Phillip Pullman's books are called the Dark Materials Trilogy. The Movie release is, as you say, The Golden Compass. |

@fable-kaima: The GN series that you mentioned is called The Keys to the Kingdom. I read Nintendo Power, and there was an ad for that exact same series. I'm gonna try to find that issue. Just a sec.
OK, I'm back. I couldn't find the issue I mentioned, though. Sorry!

| | | My favorites would have to be the Legend of Drizzt series which is part of the forgotten realms by R.A Salvatore. hes a genius. Drizzt is a drow elf who doesnt fit in with the rest of his kin because he has feelings and isnt a killing machine like his father, zak. and he is the best swordsman in Menzoberranzan.

| | Right now, I'm reading The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. I was planning to buy The Children of Turin but it's too expensive.

| | | I've looked through the posts but cant find anything about The Wheel of Time series. I am planning to start this series and looking for some insight. I've read Tolkien's books, Terry Pratchett's Diskworld, David Eddings' The Belgariad and The Malloreon and some more.
