His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman


How I love love love these books! I've read them multiple times and I'm craving to read them now, but alas - they are back in Canada. 

Unlike anything else I've ever read, they seem to offer a fantastical children's adventure story (on the surface), but really they are a kind of dark, adult reflection on the nature of our existence and what it means to grow up. It's about the loss of innocence, souls, love...and everything that you could ever care about. Nothing I've ever read has made as big of an impact on me as these books did. I can't wait to read them again!
