Actually 25! Less than a year ago. I was introduced to Lewis by his apologetics and his autobiography in high school, and only really read his fiction after college, Ransom Trilogy first and then the Chronicles.

The Magician’s Nephew hands down.

A big, hearty welcome to NarniaWeb, @Elwin-of-the-Lions-Mane! It's always great to hear of people first learning about Lewis and his many writings—including the treasured Chronicles, of course—as an adult. I'm curious: would you mind sharing your reasons that The Magician's Nephew is your favourite? Such a wonderful book, indeed. We hope you stay around here on the forum for a good, long time.  

@jo Thanks for the hearty welcome! The Magician’s Nephew tops the saga in my eyes for several reasons.

• It fills out the logic of Narnia’s “magic system” really satisfactorily (the multiverse beyond the worlds, transport between them by the Wood, the origin of various figures of power/symbol: Royal humanity in Narnia through Frank and Helen, Talking Beasts, the Witch, the wardrobe, the lamppost, the Kirke estate).

• The images and landscapes are arguably most vivid (e.g. the desolate silence of Charn, the stage of the Creation Song, the Wood Between the Worlds, Aslan’s tearful acquaintance with grief, the Golden bathe of Goodness by which Digory remembers courage). 

• Digory’s heart-felt obedience and Aslan’s full pleasure made me swell with joy, for lack of less sappy words lol.  “WELL DONE Son of Adam!” was a great catharsis—Digory persevered when it mattered the most.

• Tying in the logic of the magic, I thought the nature of the healing apple across the boundary of worlds was really convincing. It made perfect sense that it wouldn’t grant immortality in a world bereft of Narnia’s young enchantment. But it would yet remedy an immediate, natural rest, then a holistic recovery, and even that not instantly, but surely over time. Digory’s sorrow and then joy to see his mother well, was simply moving.

Welcome to NarniaWeb, @NarniaLife! We're glad you are here, already involved. And huge kudos to all the teachers who have read the Narnia series to their students. From what I have heard, many people were introduced to the Chronicles that wonderful way! Cool about your favourites being TMN, then TSC. I am curious to know what you will think of The Last Battle. It is really special you are reading through the series for the first time. Good for you!  

I must say your first name is so pretty, being a music-lover/student all my life. ♪ ♫

Welcome to NarniaWeb, @Dayul. Glad you discovered this community, especially when you have not yet found anyone around you who enjoy the Chronicles. Maybe your sister will become a Narnia fan too, or is she already?  

We have quite a number of members here who also enjoy writing, and have a Writer's World thread that you may be interested in. It has not been active lately, but is still open and ready for posts. 

Good to have you here!  

@jo Thank you! I doubt my sister will become fan of Narnia. She doesn't like books. But since they are working on the movie, maybe she will have interest. Thank you very much for welcoming me here.

A big, Narnian welcome to NarniaWeb, @pattertwig. What a fun username from Prince Caspian. 

It is good to hear you are a major appreciator of the Chronicles, and that you grew up with them. My parents, also, read them to us when we were just little gaffers, and the rest is history. Since you enjoy reading (as with many of us here), you may want to check our book topic—Tome & Folio. 

Enjoy the discussions here! 

@pattertwig Welcome! So glad you found NarniaWeb! I second @johobbit about checking out the Tomb and Folio thread. If I start making book recs here I won't stop, lol.
