If I was Philip Pullman I'd buy me a racing car and zoom up and down the M1 in it.

well, he said he's not that rich yet, just wealthy enough to not have to worry about money and picking up a book whenever it looks interesting.

I wouldn't have to be...I just said that if I was that's what I'd do. I doubt I could go clubbing anymore after all o.o

Being a canny sort of man I would imagine that he's negotiated a healthy deal for the film rights. Which will amount to far more than he'll get for the books.
