So there I was going on 15 minutes staring at title after title at Border's looking for a new series to start, when Philip Pullman's Golden Compass box set caught my eye.

So far I am only 4 or 5 chapters into the 1st book; The Golden Compass, but it has a major Chronicles of Narnia feel to it. The young girl that is the lead heroine of the book(s) is hiding inside a wardrobe (that seems larger on the inside than the outside) in the 1st chapter.

So far it is a good read, and I hope to finish it before the movie comes out.

I loved the first two books... the 3rd one started to lose me after a bit. Maybe it was just my mood at that time. *shrug* They're very well written and quite original in many aspects.
