Narnia? Ewwwww! I liked those when I was a kid, then tried to reread them last time I was at home for the holidays, and they're horrible! The dialogue is incredibly dated and strikes me as never having been believable, and the thinly-veiled weird religious nutcasery is nauseating. I had to stop after a chapter and a half and go back to a good kids' book like Lemony Snicket's.

Have you ever heard that interview with Pullman? He loathes Narnia. One more reason for liking the
Northern Lights trilogy, I suppose...
@Scarecrow:
Seven Ancient Wonders? Never heard of it. Is that a new one? I quite like Matthew Reilly. Actually I even managed to sneak a reference to
Ice Station into my thesis, but nobody seems to have minded.:P
