Get reading!

We haven't had a new book of the Season for yonks so I picked one that I have just read. We also have two new movies based on these books so I thought it would be good for you to read them. Its not the first book in the set but its the one you are supposed to read first. The Magician's Nephew was written last and so should be read last to avoid spoiling things.

Awesome!
I read the books in the order they came in, in the compilatoin set. It went:
The Magicians Nephew
The Horse and His Boy
Prince Caspian
Voyage of The Dawn Treader (sp?)

So far, that is all I have read, but I'm still trying to read 'The silver chair' and 'The Last Battle'
Oh and by the way, in Australia it's Spring :grin: ... not Winter :razz:

Well for anyone else looking to read the full set its recommended that you actually start with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as Magician's Nephew was written last I beleive and should be read last as it explains everything but its more the sort of thing you'd want to read last really.

I'm also reading through the set though, lost count how many times I've read them, currently on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader myself which is bound to be the next film.

Silver Chair is my favourite purley (not purple, brain where?) because of the old BBC tv series they made in the 80's. I've actually seen some of the places they filmed the Silver Chair episodes of that.

I recommend reading the books, they do miss out alot or tweak the story, not too bad but still happens.
