As you can see on the right side of my page, I'm currently reading the "His Dark Materials" trilogy. The first book, "The Golden Compass" has been made into a movie and will premier this fall. It's a pretty good series, but I've decided that the author must be a Bears fan.
Firstly, he named one of the major characters "William Perry", and as if that wasn't enough, there was actually a scene in which Will had to explain how a refrigerator worked to a girl who had never seen one before.
This all occurred in book 2, "The Subtle Knife", but I don't think it was that subtle. Clearly Philip Pullman is wondering as much about Rex Grossman as the rest of Chicago-land.
The only problem with my theory is that he is from England, but I won't let that get in my way. I still fully expect to see him as one of those shirtless guys in -20 weather at Soldier Field in December.
