That is soooooo way cool.....cooler than cool !!!
So little WIMPS are running amuck and whacking into atoms and making little teeny noises !! I so want to read more about all this !

For those of you interested, Lenny and I are talking about a trilogy of books called "His Dark Materials" by Phillip Pullman.
Mihangel got me hooked and I told Lenny and Setras. If you love parallel worlds and total mindblowing concepts, find these books.......
"The Golden Compass"
"The Subtle Knife"
"The Amber Spyglass"
If you have time and love to read, you won't be sorry !!

Thanks, Lenny. Total cool stuff Smile

Must point out though, the (original) English title for the first book is "His Dark Materials 1: Northern Lights". Not sure why they changed it, probably too similar to some book available in the US.

Just wanted to tell you, you know... And by the way, I forgot to email you this (yes, my bad!):

eBook, all three in one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005B5FG/qid=1051743417/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-7115235-1450447?v=glance&s=books

Silly American Paperback editions, 3 books split into 6:

Book 1 1/2: The Reality Dysfunction
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446605158/qid=1051743485/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/002-7115235-1450447?v=glance&s=books

Book 1 2/2: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446605166/qid=1051743485/sr=1-7/ref=sr_1_7/002-7115235-1450447?v=glance&s=books

Book 2 1/2: The Neutronium Alchemist
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446605174/qid=1051743485/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/002-7115235-1450447?v=glance&s=books

Book 2 1/2: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446605468/qid=1051743485/sr=1-8/ref=sr_1_8/002-7115235-1450447?v=glance&s=books

Book 3 1/2: The Naked God
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446605182/qid=1051743485/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-7115235-1450447?v=glance&s=books

Book 3 2/2: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0446608971/qid=1051743834/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_5/002-7115235-1450447?v=glance&s=books

Some of these are listed as out of stock and such, but I hope you can find them anyway if you need them in physical form. You might even be able to locate the 3-book editions (instead of 6) with a bit of effort. Smile

Good luck. These books ROCKS if you like sci-fi. Smile There's even a gay guy in them, but he's not very nice. Very Happy Hell, even the hero isn't that super-nice really... Peter F. Hamilton's a great writer IMO.
