  7. What got YOU into Alternate History?

  14. Golden Compass

    I didn't read the book(yet) and I really enjoyed the movie. I agree with most here that it was to quick and left some loose ends, but I really did like it. The acting was great and I also wonder where they got Lyra. Oh and Polar Bears!!!
