I'm re-reading the series so I can propose a paper on modern fantasy critiques of children's portal fantasies (Every Heart a Doorway; The Magicians) for a conference, but I've felt for awhile that it was time for a re-read, anyway. These were some of my favorite books as a child, and despite having grown up and leaving Christianity behind, I still love them. Lewis' writing style is charming and readable, and his characters--even when not particularly fleshed-out or three-dimensional--are interesting. 
 One thing I noticed on this read-through that I hadn't noticed before is how much Lewis seems to dislike school--the Professor complains about the children not being taught anything; Lucy thinks that the new school is what started ruining Edmund; as kings and queens of Narnia, the four help keep young fauns and centaurs from having to go to school. And that's before we get to The Silver Chair, where schools really get the beat-down. There's probably something there that I need to consider a bit more.
