i really need to read the amber spyglass before it comes out in paperback. i've been with pullman since 1988 when i read the ruby in the smoke in hardcover! seventh grade, dude. i was working in childrens book sales when the golden compass came out so i got hooked with a promo copy of that, and was happy to see my favorite author when i was a teenager finally getting widespread acclaim from the adult world. i felt like he was the only YA author who didn't pull punches or overwork the pathos or something.
someone i knew who works at random house gave me a promo copy of bee season before it even came out... and i still havent read it. that's pretty sad. i have about two bankers boxes of unread books. i'm my own librarian.
