Haven't read HHGTTG but I have read His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. I like them a lot. Also I have read Eragon, the Harry Potter series, The Magic Kingdom series by Terry Brooks, and quartets by Tamora Pierce (breifly described in "What's your favorite line comic?" pg. 4).

I read so many books... I can't remember them unless I am prompted the title, then I get a lovely memory of the book. I don't read - I see. I just see images of what the words are describing without needing to think about it. I can't even remmeber the words after - just pictures.

Like in the amber spyglass the willow tree with Lyra and Roger under it - and teh flowing orangeness. Very prettey.

I don't know if it was a willow tree to be honest, tub that's the image I got.

It was right near the end before they sealed the big leak, and the two of them were sitting under a tree.. (kissing if I remember)

And the creatures - were they like elephants? (I can't remember exactly, about 5 years since I read the book)

Elephant-like; they had claws and moved on wheels. Lyra had fun trying to get around on them.

I've been trying to find the Cryptonicom... My *evil* tub clever physics teacher recommended it. He also recommended some very boring books I don't think i'll ever be able to read - mostly with scary titles.

I think I have liked every book, except for Great Expectations (Charles Dickens) and a few others...

In fact all the ones we spent hours unpicking in school to find the symbolism - except Lord of the Flies - that's a good book.
