The chronicles of Narnia is a good book. Right now I am reading the silver chair. it is when the kids first leave the real world into the  magical realm. There is a talking polar bear that guides them. Talking owls, and people age slower there as well. I recommend reading the chronicles of Narnia. Every book. there is about 7 or 8 of them. You can catch it on tv as well. There is the chronicles of narnia, and number 2, the prince caspian. I saw both of them. I also read a book about a dark elf who hunts in the wild and went to a dwarf town, and I read harry potter the Goblet of fire and saw Harry potter the half blood prince and the Goblet of fire.

Are you talking about the series of books by R.A. Salvatore?  The character's name is Drizzt Do'Urden?  The first book I read with him in it was The Crystal Shard, but there's been many, many more.

YES!!!!! Drizzt do'urden!~ Precisely. I see you have read the book too. I forget the name, I never got my book back from jail. They kept my stuff, but sure enough, he is the main character.

I find C.S. Lewis' writing style obnoxious.  Don't know why.  Now Lloyd Alexander, now there's a writer!

That's okay, different strokes for different folks, and to each his own.

I've got to admit, David, I wouldn't expect Christian literature to be so appealing to a pagan. What is it about the Chronicles of Narnia that you like so much?

Well, the changes to the real world from our world to theirs, it is very pagan, with talking animals and a healing lion. I like all of the chronicles of narnia. I like the talking owl, the new world, that they go to through the closet, and the action. It's not very christian at all. This christian has something in common to the Pagans, meaning h worships on sunday, saturday is the christian jewish day of worship.

The lion is a blatant Christ symbol.

Yep. The books aren't an allegory, but they are written to be theological fiction. Aslan is representative of how Jesus Christ (as God) would be in another world. The Christian themes and doctrines practically scream from the pages and screen.

I'm not downing them by any means. Both my wife and I like them, but I do think it's a good idea to be aware of their content and message.
