I'm in the middle of them right now. I bought a one-volume collection organized in Lewis' preferred order of reading--"The Magician's Nephew," "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," "The Horse and his Boy," "Prince Caspian," "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," "The Silver Chair," and "The Last Battle." I am in the middle of "The Silver Chair" at the moment. I highly recommend reading them again (or for the first time for those of you so deprived as children). Narnia is pretty cool. I wonder, though, that as the movies go further how the producers will handle the portrayals of Calormen--I can just hear critics screaming (wrongly) about Calormen being based on caricatures and stereotypes of the Middle East...
