Book 2!

...which is technically Book 1.

The next bunch of books on my list are the Narnia Chronicles, and I just finished 'The Magician's Nephew' this morning on the bus (while trying to ignore the boys next to me who were attempting to argue that religion was like a bus- it gets you from point A to point B).
As always with C.S. Lewis, I loved it. I've read the entire series multiple times since I was really young, and I've never been disappointed with them. I think it's beautiful the way they are written for young children to read and enjoy, and for adults to enjoy and ponder. The allegorical elements that run through all of them are wonderful, the bits of information on British education system and breaths of fresh (or perhaps musty)air, and after finishing one, I always want to move onto the next one.
As a point of interest, I started this series because I'm planning on seeing Dawn Treader one of these days, though many avid Lewis fans have told me it's awful. Everyone who hasn't read the books seems to love it. After I've brushed up on the series, maybe I'll watch the three movies, and perhaps I'll even hunt around the house for our recorded copies of the old BBC versions.
Any intelligent, informed thoughts on the new Dawn Treader movie?

Next up: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
