I was going to do an indepth take on The Chronicles of Narnia and I still might at some point but here are my grades for each of the books:

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe–A
Prince Caspian–B+
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader–B
The Silver Chair–A
The Horse And His Boy–A
The Magician’s Nephew–A-
The Last Battle–A

The Silver Chair was my favorite and Dawn Treader was my least favorite. There is no greater allegorical picture of Christ in contemporary literature that comes close to the beauty, majesty and splendor of Aslan. The greatness of Lewis’ Narnia series is that there is an indelible and beautiful picture of Christ that will make you fall in love with Him in new ways.

In my chronological reading I also tackled Mere Christianity again. Next time just give me the quotable parts. Lewis is a master of false dichotomies with his most famous example being the Liar, Lunatic or Lord conclusion in this book. Grade: B-

I was supposed to read English Literature in the 16th Century, Excluding Drama by Lewis in the midst of Narnia as well. However, my commitment to this process has its limits. 700 pages on poetry and prose written during the 1500s greatly exceeds my capacity for caring for Lewis’ writing. So, I skipped it.

At this point I take a break from Lewis and come back to his works in a bit.
