I'll likely check 'em out sometime.

I know Pullman by name, but not really by much more.

It's frustrating sometimes to see good material kinda rot in limbo while the run of the mill gets eaten up by some promotional obsession. Harry Potter was a wave a ton of people rode. I knew people who raved about the books that knew less about the series than I did. I wasn't too terribly impressed by the series as far as I actually got, though they were much better written than most of the "Children's books" I've read. That's not necessarily high praise: Being better than dumbed-down crap should be expected of anyone literate. I guess I'd say my reference point is a little...Skewed.
