c.s. lewis~Narnian Chronicles

The Chronicals of Narnia are some of the best fantasy stories though.

I haven't come across the Screwtape Letters 🙁

intriguing. i like that word. the Narnian Chronicals are amazing.

Which is your favourite one? 😛

Although not a great fan of Christianity, I love the Narnia books... I find the way Lewis manages (especially in the "minor" chronicles) to veil his christian allegory and yet still make it obvious fascinating... The Horse and his Boy and Voyage of the Dawn Treader being the obvious examples... The Silver Chair was always my favourite, with its message taht if you stick to God's rules, you will be saved from eternity in the underworld, and the Last Battles reworking of St John the Divines Revelation serves to make the saint of Patmos's work far more accessible...

Favorite Narnia book? Has to be The Last Battle. it's soooo awsome.

I've got to read this books stat.

yes. yes you do.

I know some of you have read these books. It's a seven book volume set. I'm on book 4.

they're awsome! i have all seven. 📖

I love c.s lewis his writing style is so intelligent,I could read him all day!

I loved reading the chronicles of narnia - I even nearly cried at the end of the last one....

i like those books, though i haven't read any in years

well actulaly i read the magicians nephew one afternoon at my grandma's house a couple months back, but besides that...

i think C.S. Lewis was friends with J.R.R. Tolkien too.

yeah, i've read the whole series quite a while now, and i love them

who wouldn't?

Which of the two witches did you think was the better villain (the serpentine green witch or Jadis, "the White Witch"? )

white witch. the green one barely did anything at all. except for that whole prince stealing thing, but other than that........

CS thread indeed.

have y'all seen the pre production artwork for the Narnia movies? Very swish and high class, but it's so LOTR it's not right... tho i'm sure some folks will be delighted by this.

BK: As to Screwtape - yes cleese did a recording (tho i didnt know it was award winning!) I prefer Acklands version because he has such a dry droll voice, JC stresses the humor a little too much for my taste (in comparison).

I may have the Cleese recording saved around here in MP3 format - I'll see if I can track it down.
