Bookses
A while back, I finished Lost by Gregory Maguire, which means that I've finished all of his novels that I really care to, for now. All of his books were good reads, but some were denser and a bit slower than others. Wicked, especially, can be a bit of a tough read.
I also just finished the His Dark Materials trilogy, and I absolutely loved it. I think Pullman actually accomplishes more with his series than C.S. Lewis managed in the Narnia Chronicles. The characters are more three dimensional, the writing is more clever, and the ending is actually sadder. The books are wicked-fast reads, and I don't think I'd hesitate to recommend them to anyone who's a fan of fantasy adventure.
