The Chronicles of Narnia May 24, 2005

I vaguely remember reading The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe back in grade school, and I think I enjoyed it. With the new Narnia movie coming out at the end of this year, I thought now would be a good time to read this whole series. They're written for young adults, but I don't think anyone can consider himself a fan of good fantasy without having read them. So I'd better get to it.

I decided to read all seven books in chronological order of their events, not the order in which they were published. So I'll be reading The Magician's Nephew, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Horse and his Boy, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of The Dawn Trader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle. In fact, since the books are so short, I've already finished listening to the first one. The Christian allegory IS pretty darn blatant. Lewis all but cracks you over the head with it, but that's cool. It's what I expected, and it's a lot more entertaining than the other book of his that I've read on the subject, Pilgrim's Regress.

Also, I love The White Witch already. She's extreme to the point of caricature, but I still love her. :)
