It's been literally years since I've read any of the books, though I'm planning a reread over the break. I hope part of what I found boring about PC was the structural issues.

Yeah, I sort of feel about the Narnia filmmakers the way I felt at times about Peter Jackson, which is that they are able to get a little closer to the heart of the story than even Lewis himself sometimes, and I think the whole "Peter & Susan are too old" thing is definitely one of them.

I am looking forward to TVDT too! When my sister comes back we are going to see it. It has such beautiful images, and such grand adventures.

If I had to pick one absolute favorite book it still might be either TMN or TLWW. Or TVDT. I really like TMN, particularly in retrospect, these last few years.
