February 2005 playlist

Some of the February 2005 playlist is represented in an post, so this is a shorter post. I did want to get back on a regular schedule for this.

Highlight: Pullman's second novel in the His Dark Materials fantasy trilogy -- The Subtle Knife -- is great fun and is an impressive crescendo toward the last book in the series (which I can't wait to read). There's something about epic, sweeping adventure novels with children protagonists to which I really relate.

Runner-up: Dodgeball. Man, that's one funny movie.
