Nearly finished The Subtle Knife now - come on, everyone! Whoa there. I thought we were reading along with Jo? As far as I can tell she's still on page 80 of book 1

I really liked the girl who played Lyra - I thought she was a great fit. I do agree though that Nicole Kidman as Mrs Coulter was just about perfect. I heard that Philip Pulman, after seeing her play Mrs Coulter, realised she should have always been a blonde.

You need to get into book 2, it gets really exciting and theological. Angels, witches and spectres (which are the same as dementors but I don't know which came first).

It moves into other worlds and gets a bit trippy in places, in fact God is of the characters. But that's enough spoilers.

A pity? We're not sitting back and accepting this! More pressure!

Moose - what page are you on?

I have now read 58% of the first book.
Should we start a separate thread at some point for each book?

In support of Moosie's desire for MOAR POASTS, how about a thread for each chapter?

Post by JoeP on Aug 2, 2014 12:41:20 GMT
I have read 100% of the first book, and (in this reading cycle) 0% of the others.

I have now read 58% of the first book. Are you sure it's not 57%? Or 59%?

Post by Miisa on Aug 2, 2014 15:53:03 GMT
My Kindle said 58%, it is pretty precise. Now 65%.

Post by juju on Aug 2, 2014 17:10:19 GMT
And there was me thinking you'd counted the pages
|
|

Post by Miisa on Aug 2, 2014 17:18:45 GMT
I started it on paper and then got it on digital, so continued that way. The one thing with the kindle is that it is difficult to determine what "page" you are on, as you can have big or small type.

Post by JoeP on Aug 3, 2014 16:43:55 GMT
As have I, and Moose is getting there, and Juju's probably finished book 3, has started again, and is about to lap us.
Is anyone else taking part?
