Interesting! I did the opposite - read the Chronicles of Narnia and the space trilogy in early college and the others much later. Still haven't read A Grief Observed.

I've never actually read screwtape, but I have listened to the audio book that's narrated by John Cleese. great way to spend an early morning commute to Seattle. Or anywhere, really.

John Cleese reads Screwtape?

That should be interesting.

I'm going to look for that now.

Yes. Available on audio cassette and CD formats. I recommend the latter as it has all the letters (50th anniversary edition) and can be searched more easily!

I once taught a Sunday School class on SCREWTAPE using this format. It was quite well appreciated by all due to our narrator!

Absolutely fanatical on this- CS, what were you thinking?

1-TLTWTW
2-Prince Caspian
3-The Dawn Treader
4- The Silver Chair
5, 6, The Magician's Nephew; TheHorse and His Boy
7- The Last Battle

Have hung out at our college library warning (Taiwanese) English-Language teachers against the printed order- "But it says No. 1 " "PUT THAT DOWN- start with The Lion.."

Read LLW, and the go back and read the series in timeline order. Thats my 2 cents.
