Originally Posted By DAR Finished Brave New World, great book. I now have the Spider-Man 3 novelization but I think I'm going to hold out on that one. So my new plan is to stop at the library and check out The Golden Compass and see if it can hold my interest this time.

Originally Posted By MissCandice Hmmm, DAR and I are doing the same thing. I am almost done with HP book 6, so I am ready for book 7 (and movie 5). Once I finish I will get back to the Thursday Next books.

I've not read any of 'em, but I've started reading Witchling and am really liking it. I wondered if I'd feel the same about her mysteries.
