These books saved my sanity when I was wee, and my family was in the middle of some ugly shit. After Winnie the Pooh, they were the first books I owned. I read 'em three times in a row. As we shuttled between apts and moved cities I developed an Aslan-based religion.

Just after I finished TLB for the last time, I read an article in the newspaper about the Christian allegory. My upbringing was militantly secular Jewish. I felt totally unmoored.

So I want to reread them, and then I don't. Is it wiser to leave the whole issue in the past, or should I stir it up so I can appreciate your criticism and reflections?
