Hooray for Roadkill

I haven't read Northern Lights by Philip Pullman - I tried when it first came out, but it was a bit too heavy going for my young self- but Catherine's been reading them lately and reporting very good things, so once I get back to England, I may have to steal them for a bit. Anyway, the first movie adaptation is coming out soon (later this year I think) and the website has a cool little "Make your Own Daemon" thing that was too neat not to try out (although they have changed the title to The Golden Compass, the book's American name. What is it with Americans changing book names? It's called the Philosopher's Stone because that's what it is - you can't change it just because you don't know what a philosopher is). Apparently, my true animal companion/external soul thing is a crow.



I can live with that.
