Just finished reading Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse, great read recommend to anyone who likes Pratchett style humor, it wasnt written by Pratchett but it is as funny.

I finished GOlden Compass last week and went right in to The Subtle Knife which has also been fantastic.  I can't wait to see the movie now :)

^ I meant to reread TGC before I saw the film but it doesn't look like there'll be time.

Interesting counter to what Nathan's currently reading, Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan.

That's a good one, Brent.  My favorite Sagan is The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.  I know you would love that one (if you haven't read it already)

Thanks for the recommendation, I haven't read it so I'll pick it up (got a long flight to and from San Diego in a week or so).  I've read Pale Blue Dot before, but it's been about 10 years and I came across it again in a nightstand drawer so I figured I'd read it again.

I'd be nice if you can make it up to LA. I'm sure Matt and I could make some time to get together with you. In fact, we're having a So-Cal meeting on the 16th.

I finally wrapped up His Dark Materials books a couple of days ago.  I was a tad bit dissapointed in the end of Amber Spyglass, maybe more by the way it ended vs how I thought it should have ended.  Still, it was a great mix of action, fantasy and science and really made me think.  I can see why the Catholic Church wouldn't like it too much :P
