First time you're reading 'His Dark Materials'? 
I'm doing the 2015 Reading Challenge, one of the challenges is to read a tearjerker. I don't usually cry while reading, but 'The Amber Spyglass'.. It never fails to move me. Good luck!

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
