You know, amazingly enough, yes. You'll have to read the book to find out what the prize is.

Um, to what end? To spot inconsistencies? For backstory? To assure ourselves that Aslan is, indeed, a representation of babyjesus?

Although I am glad to see that since my childhood they have properly reordered the sequence to reflect a correct chronology, so that the Magician's Nephew now comes first.

Geez. Just for the anticipation.

I bought them all and reread them toward the end of 2004 and then gave the set to a nephew. Perhaps I will rereread at Christmas. Just for fun, not because of the movie.

The Magician's nephew is kind of creepy. I don't know if it is more or less creepy than Love You Forever.

Well, just cuz they're good books and any excuse to reread is welcome.

Incidently, is anyone else thinking about re-reading the Narnia books in preparation for the movie? I haven't been as exicted about a preview in years.
nc,s & RT - great, thank you!

And yes, I'm pulling out Narnia (for me and for the littles). I just bought a somewhat reduced version to read to my 4-year-old before I launch into the full book. We've done full-length books before (Wiz of Oz, Alice, Cinderella), but I wanted to whet the appetite first.

I sure hope that the obscure but beautiful "Narnia" by Steve Hacket somehow made it onto the soundtrack.

The Magician's Nephew was always kind of a chore to me. But I don't want it reordered!

Is it a very long book? I'm a pretty busy guy, you know.

I felt that way about the Horse and His Boy. I rather liked the Magician's nephew. Fortunately, C.S. Lewis didn't try to increase the prequel's appeal with a Jar Jar Binks-like character.

Read Ugh. He's a caveboy inventor. It's a pretty short read.

My favorite book as a kid was Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak. Loved it, loved it.

That depends. How old are you?

Good reminder. For some reason I never had that as a kid and it's a good one.

I preferred In the Night Kitchen. But I've always been out of the mainstream. (not that where the wild things are was lacking.)
