Tolkien hated allegory with a passion, so he wasn't fond of Narnia.<P>I loved "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" and "The Last Battle". The middle five books were tough for me to read because they really were written for children and I read them for the first time this year, but read them anyway. I love C.S. Lewis' philosophical works! "Mere Christianity" and "The Screwtape Letters" rule! And so does "Til We Have Faces". Hmmm, I need to finish that book; it was really good.
