MORE FANTASY NOVEL STUFF: Via Reductio Ad Absurdum, here's a literary opinion piece saying Philip Pullman is doing for secular humanism what C.S. Lewis did for Christianity. Good stuff. Pullman's books are on the ever-growing Books I Need To Read list. My favorite philosopher C.S. Peirce said something about there being more books worth reading out there than any one person could read in their lifetime, and that was back in the late 1800s-early 1900s. If ever a mouthful was said, that was it.
