I had just watch prince caspian movie. I had heard that the chronicle of narnia was a series of children's books. Well, do you recommend them to an adult like me? Also, which of the narnia's books is the most exciting, and which, the most dull?

Reading the thread on the growth of the main characters in the Harry Potter books made me think about the same sort of thing in other YA series, specifically the works of CS Lewis. Does anyone else find the following a little, well, odd? We're asked to believe that after the events of...

I haven't seen any discussion related to Michael Moorcocks essay Epic Pooh. This is one of the only critiques of Tolkeins work, and highlights some of the failings that are so often overlooked. Epic Pooh His overall points seem to be the following : - The prose of Tolkein and Lewis are...
