The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
4.0

I've come back to this book every time to find new emotional truths in it.

Enough time has passed for me to find some inconsistencies in plot, or some gaps here and there (like, what convinced Lee Scoresby and the witches to bring Iorek, Lyra and Roger all the way to Svalbard? That was never explained, but carried along by plot-momentum), but it is still a grand, lovely adventure. This time i read and see how it is a story about Knowing Oneself - whether as a witch, a bear, or even the shape of one's own daemon
