Bump:
I'm not much of a book reader but currently 2/3rds of the way through the 'His Dark Materials' trilogy by Philip Pullman. It is generally conceived as a teenagers' book, I'm 18 and I love it.
First book, 'Northern Lights' was superb and just a shame the film ruins it by not actually including the ending.
Second book, 'The Subtle Knife' was also very good and now I can't wait to get onto the third, 'The Amber Spyglass'. As I said, I rarely read but this has me hooked, I'm reading for a couple of hours every day and i even think about what will happen next while I'm stuck in work!
