^Ditto King Caspian. It truly was an original made by the great C.S Lewis. I never imagined or thought of Narnia and those minotaurs, centaurs, talking beavers, a Great Lion, and the four Pevensies till he wrote them. *still claps*

I don't remeber completely what I thought when I first read LWW... I do remeber that I wa over come with joy when Aslan came back to life. But it was the middle of class and I yelled at for screaming, "Yay! He's alive!"

With other books I remeber a little better. Like with VDT. I had always liked books that have many stories, which alone are good, but add to an even greater epic. There is turely something magical in the books. There was then, there is now, and there will be forever!

The first time I read LWW I was so captivated by how magical Narnia was and how interesting the story was. I love reading in general but I knew at that moment I have found something very special.

I read the LWW first andi knew I would have to read the others, it took me several months to find them looking through the book sections of thrift stores since I had very little spending money at the time. I found them in the order LWW, PC, HHB, MN, SC, VDT and LB.

I knew the books where special and magical from the moment we first started reading them. My brother read them to us before bed and I would dream about Narnia in the night. My brother would only read a certain amount of chapters at a time and we would beg him to read more

When I read LWW, I knew it would be one of my most favorite books. :)

The problem is I never read the books first.

I saw the animated LWW when I was 4. Though it would probably not be good for me today, I loved it when I was that age. I found the story facinating and I loved the characters and the whole world of Narnia. At the time I thought it was the only Narnia related story. Around the age of 6, my dad read to me and my little brother "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader." At age 7 I saw the BBC Silver Chair and thats when I realised that Narnia was a series. About a year later I saw the BBC LWW and PC/VDT. At the age of 8 I also listened to the Focus on the Family Radio drama of the Magician's Nephew. I found that Radio drama facinating and started to listen to each of the dramas until they had made all 7.

Then after hearing the dramas in chronological order, I read the books in random order.

THEN when I was 12, I was blown away when I first saw the trailer for the movie (cause until then I had only seen a akward cartoon and cheap BBC adaptation). And then I did a project on the LWW book for school and finished it the day before the movie came out. When I saw the movie I was blown away.

I joined Narniaweb 2 years later just about a month before the trailer for PC was released in the December of 2007.
