I finished reading 'Marathon Man' last week and the DVD just arrived from Netflix! I'm really interested to see what the movie is like, though I'm scared to death of the "Is it safe?" scene! My teeth hurt just thinking about it!

I'm about halfway through 'Amber Spyglass' now. Not sure where the hell that is going!

So, Lyra and Will have just arrived in the "suburbs of the dead" (that sounds like a really cheesy horror movie...). We just had the whole "keep your death near" speech from the dying grandmother's death. Creepy. Lyra is lying her head off, as usual. I'm trying to figure out what that means, exactly. The fact that she's a pathological liar. I'm hoping it has some bigger meaning later. Or not. Maybe it's just because she's a kid. But her mother is a superb liar too. No one ever seems to get angry at Lyra lying either - Will and the lilliputians (I can't remember their names and I have no idea how to spell them...lady slavakia and chevaliyay?) just went right along with her.

Mary just learned how to see Dust in the Mulefa world. She just had the old Mulefa explain their history to her. I want to see a picture of these creatures! I hope the movies do well enough for them to make the third one because I want to see them rolling around on the seed pods. I can't quite wrap my head around the description.

Mrs Coulter, not sure what to do with her. Or Asriel. Neither of them is particularly nice or pleasant. Both of them are lying liars.

Something tells me that when I'm done with this series, I'm going to want to read all the literary criticism on it that i can find!
