Thanks to my beloved professor, I came across Phillip Pullman and His Dark Materials, a book he magnificently made, he claimed having substance. True. It's got substance.
His Dark Materials is a childnren's book, but it's nothing like Harry Potter, Narnia, or Lord of the Rings. It's got more depth and it's an attack to theocracy. In Pullman's book, he tells his readers about things such as daemons, alithieometer, dust ---a dust of great significance, gyptians, witches, bears, intercision, and more ficititious things he used to open his readers into a new world where things make sense.
And now, there is an upcoming movie about it. They're filming it already and to my surprise, Nicole Kidman plays the role of Mrs. Coulter, the graceful woman who happens to be the mother of the protagonist Lyra.
That movie is a must-see, but before that, I gotta read that book, it's a MUST-READ.
