You know the feeling when someone mentions a food you particularly love to eat and then you can't stop thinking about the taste of that food until you satisfy that craving? That's what books are like for me.Someone mentioned listening to Michael Sheen reading Philip Pullman's second trilogy and so I had to dive back into that world. Like this world, it's not an easy place to be. Which, for all the fantastical things, makes it relatable.
I reread them in the order of the history of the characters and the publishing history so I started with La Belle Sauvage in the Book of Dust trilogy then jumped to the His Dark Materials trilogy and then back to the Book of Dust for the last two in the series.

1. The Rose Field by #PhilipPullman.
Disappointing conclusion to an uneven trilogy. Parts of it reminded me of His Dark Materials and not in a good way. More like, “This again?” It’s already an interesting story, why clutter it with repetitive elements or extraneous characters and subplots? Pullman poses interesting questions and explores ideas that are easily mapped onto the current shitshow that’s our world. But the answers and resolution are unsatisfying. Maybe my disgust at real life and need for answers makes me judge this too harshly. I might be up for a re-read later…

Vi har ikke lært en skid af forrige afsnit, og også dette afsnit er optaget over Zoom. Som et ekstra benspænd ringede en af os ind på mobil fra et sommerhus i det nordjyske, og der kan derfor være enkelte udfald i lyden. Vi har prøvet at udbedre det i redigeringen, og håber ikke, det forstyrrer forståelsen af samtalen.
Denne gang har vi brugt musik af Matt Oakley (The incredible shrinking Larry), Glad Rags (Social kapital (reprise)) og Dee Yan-Key (Finis Comoediae). Alle er tilgængelige fra Free Music Archive under CC-Attribution-licensen.

Book 34: “The Secret Commonwealth” by #PhilipPullman.
Re-read to prep for the final book. These 600+ pages are warranted, unlike 95% of the sci-fi/fantasy books I’ve read this year. The Books of Dust evolve and complicate the beloved world of His Dark Materials in many ways, but one of the most arresting is in the relationships between people and their daemons. It’s shocking, heart-breaking, and very human.

Book mail arrived today, and I have to give a huge shout out to Eagle Eye Books in Decatur for the Pantalaimon pin and all around excellent service!
Also, EEP. This is it. This is the last book in a series that I've loved for so many years. I'm having that weird really want to read it but don't want it to end feeling. 🤓

What a ride. And, honestly, it's great to have the same feeling of sadness when I finished reading #hisdarkmaterials years ago.

BBC: Author Philip Pullman calls on government to act over ‘wicked’ AI scraping. “Author Sir Philip Pullman has called on the government to change copyright laws on ‘scraping’, where writers’ books are used to train artificial intelligence (AI) software to understand and generate human language.”

With the final volume of Philip Pullman's The Book of Dust published next week, this is an interesting take.
(I was very disappointed when the previous volume, The Secret Commonwealth just stopped before reaching a satisfying conclusion. He hadn't even finished its sequel. I'm genuinely excited to be able to read it. Soon.)

Aber immerhin überlässt es Pullman nicht #HBO, die Geschichte zu Ende zu erzählen, so wie #grrmartin mit #got ...
