Re: Chronicles of Narnia
Well, now, saying that is kind of inaccurate. Yeah, CS Lewis was adapting the Bible stories into something a little more fun, and you can certainly find parallels, but that's not all they are. The Narnia books have nothing blatant about God or Christianity, and its not trying to subtly shove it down your thorat either.
So nobody who read that not read the books just because of any Christianity in them. Its not overbearing or really even obvious in some of the stories.
Anyway....
The books are wonderful, but don't go into them expecting The Lord of the Rings. They were written for a much younger audience, and thus aren't as complex or so interwoven with Narnian history.
Think more like The Hobbit.
Also, if you do plan to read the series. I suggest reading them in their publication order, first, before reading them chronologically. The Magician's Nephew is much more enjoyable after you've read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe than before (just as an example, and not to say that TMN isn't enjoyable by itself, just more so when you have the knowledge of LWW with it).
