Chronicles of Narnia

I finished reading the entire Chronicles of Narnia series last night. It only took almost 27 years to finish the series, but it is finished.
There was so much I'd love to talk about in the series, but I'd rather you read it first.
And if you're a lazy bumb like Mike Watt, you can even buy the whole series on CD now and listen to it (unabridged).
I will say that "The Last Battle" was probably my favorite book in the series by C.S. Lewis with "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" coming in at a close second.
From the audio cover:

The Complete Chronicles of Narnia Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil—what more could any reader ask for? THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis, had all this and more. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia. For the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations. Now, some of the most noted actors of our times have come together to read these extraordinary works. This timeless boxed set includes all seven unabridged recordings: 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; THE LAST BATTLE. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, more than fifty years after they were first published.
