I finally got around to reading the Chronicles. I'm now on DT. They're great! I can't believe I never read them before now!

awesome, now if only we can get a different director this time. Not that Adamson was bad mind you, but I'd like to see them try to be slightly more accurate this, time PC is one my favorites.

FINALLY read all these. Read LWW a few years ago when that movie came out. This past winter/spring I read Prince Caspian in advance of the movie (haven't seen it yet). Then my oldest son (10) read PC, then went on a tear and read all the rest.
He and I are taking a trip with our church this weekend, so I challenged him several weeks ago to read "The Hobbit" by the trip and I would read all the Chronicles of Narnia. I just finished my last one today. He finished up "The Hobbit" a few weeks ago, and recently wanted to start... LOTR! As of Sunday, he was in chapter 3, but today he's at the hill in The Old Forest - chapter 6!

Godd for both of you!
So, do you both like what you've been reading? I guess he must have liked The Hobbit, at least ...

Yes - I DID forget to mention that, and YES - we have both liked what we're reading very much!

Father I have a confession to make.
Father have I sinned? I have not read the Chronicles of Narnia. Although I did watch some British dramatization of it at the age of 7, I have, besides knowing that there is a talking lion named Aslan or something in it, no clue what the story is about. Wait, Father, there are beavers too. I think. I know there's a movie made recently, but I don't know if it's any good. Although my twin sister read the books when we were younger, from what I saw on the front cover, I judged the books to look boring and uneventful. In the name of Books, Reading and Holy Literature Amen

Then do thou make penance and write one hundred times, neatly,
I shall not pretend to know books from movies. Preferably on the back of your hand with Umbridge's special quill. Or you could read them in proper order. Op cit.

Umbridge's Special Quill.. Oh no, I will be marked for eternity
I could read the books though.. I will have to think it through.

It would be sad if the covers (or movies) kept you from reading good books. I hope you'll like them. I would definitely read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe first. I've come to the conclusion that this is the best introduction to Narnia for someone who doesn't know it. The beginning of its history can come later. As you've already been given your penance, I won't go into that And when you've finished the books, you can become a member of "Vennskapsforeningen Norge-Narnia" (visit my homepage)

Never having read any of the books before, I got a whim in December and started reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I finished it the same day. Now, not even a month later, I've also read (in order) The Magician's Nephew, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair, which I finished this morning.
Did I get hooked on Narnia or what?

In my personal opinion, it's nearly impossible not to get hooked. I read those books even more than I do Tolkien (is that blasphemous?). There are so many good little pieces within the stories, like how Aslan follows the rules he created when Lucy turns the duffers visible again, or how he has to "undress" Eustace before he can be "undragoned". They are SO very good.

I had been hooked on LWW for years before I knew that it was indeed the beginning of a series (none of the others had been translated into Norwegian at the time - only into Swedish, but I wasn't anywhere near any Swedish bookshops).
When I finally found the series (in English, on my first visit to England), I doubted that they could all be as good as the first one, so I only bought one of them, and took it for my bedside reading that evening. I finished it something like 2 a.m. and went back to the bookshop the next day and bought the rest of the series
