I love these books (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass).
I think it's definitely the best trilogy I've ever read, hands down. Philip Pullman is a smurfing genius, and I have a signed copy of The Amber Spyglass.

The Golden Compass is my favorite, just because of the setting and the way it begins, but the others are still way above most fantasy books.

What do you think?
