[thelionscall] Chronicles Reading Order.

In my opinion, I think the books are best read in the original order.
LWW being the first. It is a little more understandable that way. But
if you think it best to read in in the new order, MN being first then
by almeans read it that way, everyone is entitled to their own
opinion. Personaly though I understood everything better in the old
order. and happly thanks to my Uncle I now own one of the original
publishings for the chronicles.

Also Dan thank you for the possible upcoming movie information. I
will keep my eyes open and money saved waiting for it. I checked out
Narniaweb.com information and found it all very interesting.
