I just finished
the Golden Compass and didn't find the parts about Church irritating at all. maybe it's because I'm not religious and also since I've read things far more... er, I'll use the word 'shocking'.
I have many options now I'm done with
Golden Compass, one, to move on with the 2nd book in the series, two, to try another genre with Elizabeth Gilbert's
Eat, Pray, Love or Marc Levy's
Les enfants de la liberté (yes I'm gonna read all books of his this spring), and three, to get back to the books I've not done with yet, which are
Wuthering Heights and
Tolbie Lolness.
or should I take a break from books and go shopping instead
