There's going to be Narnia Movies? Where have I been?
I should read the books again.

They sure are. I recently got a single-volume "Complete Chronicles of Narnia" book, and am looking forward to getting it out and reading it (After I settle down, and read the books I haven't read yet (excluding HoMe, which I think will take a long time).

I have read the chronicles of narnia many times. My mom read The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe to me when I was little. I hope pj makes it, but not over The Hobbit. Lewis and Tolkien were good freinds and Tolkien was a devoted catholic.

i love these books, read them again over christmas. My favourite was always Last Battle. I don't understand how anyone can start reading the series without beginning with L,W&W. Surely it wouldn't make sense?

*bump* I started a thread on these books too, but now I can't find it.
Actually, it does make sense to start with "The Magician's Nephew" too. Chronologically, it works that way. Starting with LWW makes MN a great prequel, which works too.

amazing
What amazes me most about CoN is that it has something for everyone. I mean when you read them as a kid you think they're just a great story, but if you reread then again as an adult you realize that C.S. Lewis actually had a lot more going on in his head than you thought as a kid. Another amazing fact is that when C.S. Lewis started the CoN he was an atheist, but when he finished he was a Christian. Which is one of the reasons that he portrayed Aslan as Jesus Christ. It's amazing or at least i think it is.

tomstheman,
Your timeline is off, good sir. Mr Lewis was a Christian convert and apologist for many years before he wrote TCON. You might enjoy his autobiography, SURPRISED BY JOY.

[QUOTE=Lótiel]I actually like the published order better, then you get more of a flow in the history of the children. The Horse and His Boy sort of breaks in and disturbs for me.
[QUOTE] I know what you mean, but I actually LOVED that book. It has to be my second favorite next to The Last Battle. The descriptions of running at incredible speed, but never sweating or getting tired...that's gotta be what heaven is like!

LWW establishes the story, the world, some characters, aslan etc ... Magician nephew is definately a back story .... and chronologically (in England) after Peter,Susan etc have been to Narnia by ALL our timelines here on earth it is chronologically AFTER LWW. |

I like Lewis' original order, because then all of the information falls into place the right way. He wrote LWW first, and then went back and wrote all of the background to fit it. That should be the order it's read in.

I see many of you have read these books when you were children. I didn't and I must say I regret it. It's just not such a big thing in South Africa. I read them this year and they were great. But make no mistake, I'll read them to my children one day Them, and all possible Dr. Suess books.
