#booksIlove: The Golden Compass trilogy

Title: The Golden Compass, Dark Materials, by Philip Pullman
When did I first read the book: soon after it came out in 1995
 
This trilogy was one of Claudia's finds. Right from the first book, Pullman created a whole new world with such eery precision.
 
I nearly always "read" the series as audiobooks because the experience is like watching a movie with your eyes closed, but my sense of imagination turned on full volume. The voices, the music, and the pace of the reading are magnificent. It's no wonder the quality is so fantastic; Philip Pullman, Joanna Wyatt and 10 more actors are lending their voices to the production.
 
The books are brilliant… the audiobooks are brilliant to the power of two.
