Lyra's life is already sufficiently interesting for a novel before she eavesdrops on a presentation by her uncle Lord Asriel to his colleagues in the Jordan College faculty, Oxford. The college, famed for its leadership in experimental theology, is funding Lord Asriel's research into the heretical possibility of the existence of worlds unlike Lyra's own, where everyone is born with a familiar animal companion, magic of a kind works, the Tartars are threatening to overrun Muscovy, and the Pope is a puritanical Protestant. Set in an England familiar and strange, Philip Pullman's lively, taut story is a must-read and re-read for fantasy lovers of all ages. The world-building is outstanding, from the subtle hints of the 1898 Tokay to odd quirks of language to the panserbjorne, while determined, clever Lyra is strongly reminiscent of Joan Aiken's Dido Twite.

Synopsis
In this first part of the "Dark Materials" trilogy, Lyra's friend Roger disappears. She and her daemon, Pantalaimon, determine to find him. Their quest leads them to the bleak splendour of the North where a team of scientists are conducting unspeakably horrible experiments.

Hmm.. the 7th book is the last right? >.< So there will be no continuation..?

Norwegian Wood
Kafka on the Shore

all are translated into English & are mind boggling

I`ve read some of Haruki Murakami`s work but I wasn`t that impressed sadly. I`ll try reading some more, maybe I didn`t read the right stuff.

The Wind up bird chronicles is difficult to get into unless your brain is quite frazzled usually.

Norwegian wood is more accessible & Kafka is somewhere in between.

Can you read Japanese? The books may lose something in translation.

Nah ...can`t read Japanese ..but I`ll give Haruki another chance. I`ve got three books from him.
The Wind up bird chronicles, Kafka on the shore (or how was it?!) and Dance dance dance ..I think ..
