Weekend Reads: Boston smells like chilly weather

It's finally starting to get chilly in Boston, the leaves have turned brown, the sweaters are coming out, you can smell the fireplaces as you walk down the street at night. This weekend I'm planning on making chili and drinking hot cocoa and listening to the Tracy Chapman cover (above). What are you doing to celebrate the season?

On the 20th Anniversary of The Golden Compass (first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy), Slate interviews Phillip Pullman and it's great. Side note: When I worked at Random House I had the opportunity to interview him. More than anything, I remember my nerves, his kindness, and the sound of bacon cooking away on his stove as I interviewed him.
