When we finish reading "The Hobbit" we'll end "His Dark Materials" by reading the third book in the series, "The Amber Spyglass", we'll also include discussion on the two small books that Philip Pullman has written to accompany the series, "Lyra's Oxford" and "Once Upon a Time in the North".

What we'd like to look at here is which book we should read after "The Amber Spyglass", and what series we should read next. So please post here to give your suggestions, when we have enough we'll close this thread and open up a poll with two lists, one for the next single book (to start reading in August) and one for the next series (to start reading in September).

I would love to read the Chronicles of Narnia again. The have so many hidden 'messages' and the series just ends so, for want of a better word, nicely!

Also, I REALLY should read Lord of the Rings again... :S Must add that to my list of books to read.
