Which of the seven Narnia Book is your favorite?

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I have been seeing many people wearing sets about Narnia so I decided to ask you guys "Which of the seven Narnia Books is your favorite." Mine is the Last Battle \:D/ and the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe :D

That's because there are two ways of reading the books. You can read them chronologically, which is:
Magician's Nephew
Lion, WItch, Wardrobe
Horse and His Boy
Prince Caspian
Dawn Treader
Silver Chair
Last Battle

Or you can read them in published order, which is:
Lion, WItch, Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
Dawn Treader
Silver Chair
Horse and His Boy
Magician's Nephew
Last Battle

My favorite hands down is the Silver Chair. I know I lot of people don't love that one, but Puddleglum is my favorite character in the whole series, Eustace and Jill work well together, and Puddlieglum's speech nearly brings me to tears every time. So yeah, I love that one! Next favorite would be either Dawn Treader or Horse and His Boy.

And we all know that the correct way to read them is the published order. :noway:

I enjoyed The Horse and His Boy... but it just doesn't lend itself to the style of the films thus far... if they make more films at all I doubt that one will ever be one of them. :(

I agree, Anne! I read them in chronological order first, and it's much, MUCH better. You get a clear layout of how the story flows and how everything fits together. Published way? You get the Magician's Nephew at the end with the Last Battle, when they're in dramatically different time periods. In chronological, you also get to see how the characters grow from one book to the next. You see Edmund go from a brat in LWW to a kind and wonderful king in HHB. You see Jill go from a whiny show off in SC to a sweet and caring girl in LB. You just don't get that with the published order.

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

Definitely the Silver Chair. The Last Battle is a close second, though.

Did you know tha Puddleglum was based after C.S. Lewis' workman who acted just like Puddleglum would?

Yeah, I did remember that. It's amazing that anyone could really be that pessimistic, isn't it?

Yes, they're really good. Aslan's voice is not the best, but everyone else they got down pat. I also like how accurate and close to the book they are.
