    Have you read the books?

      They were easily my favourite books before I stumbled across Tolkien. I read the first one when I was 7, and then discovered the rest a year or so later.

      To be honest, I always thought Peter was a bit hard to take. People like him are bloody aggravating in real life. Lucy's much more likeable.

      I think my favourite of the series was The Magician's Nephew - it tied up a lot of the loose ends. Like where the hell did the lamp post come from?

      I was only joking

        Yep, I read about half of 'em. They just didn't personally grab me like Tolkien's stuff did, but they're still great books.

        Please love yourself.

          I was probably in my 20s by the time I knew those books were blatant Christian allegory. That was the speed at which I learned of the world pre-internet.

          Education is extremely important.
