I'm now listening to The Horse and His Boy , my next Narnian 'reread', read by Alex Jennings.
25. The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis.
Well, I made it to 25 by my 6-month mark (end of September), but just barely. It helped to be reading Narnia books (fast reads), but it was looking iffy for a while there (even though in August it looked like I'd be ahead of pace after September). Now ...

(In case you're wondering, the top is Prince Caspian and the lower shelf is The Horse and His Boy .)
... Giants - both depicted as cruel and often stupid with it. You didn't find The Silver Chair xenophobic? What about The Horse and His Boy ? I don't see that the depiction of 'enemy' in The Last Battle is particularly different. 'Enemy' is those who willingly harm others for their own ...

I get names and titles backwards sometimes. Is your actor the guy who is slated to star in the new bio-pic Trotsky: Stalin's Stalking Horse ?
... at least my vision of what Lucy Pevensie would be like when she became old enough to have a crush on. Let’s say The Horse and His Boy -era Lucy, when she’s all bad-assedly riding off to war with her brother. I thought that was magnificent when I was younger—and I always hated on Su ...

I have been having trouble getting through The Horse and his Boy by C.S. Lewis. This Chronicles of Narnia book seems to have no relevance to any other book in the series, and I am finding it a bore to get through. But I want to get through all of the Narnia books, so I am suffering through it.
I'm about 60 pages into The Savage Detectives; it's moving along - some very funny passages (detailed anguish of a sex and literature mad adolescent wandering Mexico City "in the grips of my virginity", suffering from "fellatio interupta", etc.). More later.

If we are including LOR then Legolas is soooo dreamy.
Shasta from A horse and his boy , Caspian, Rillian and Peter Pevinsie from the Chronicles of Narnia
And all flavors of Mr Darcy, of course!
I also thought Tiberius was probably my favourite of the Massie Roman Emperor series (though I haven't yet read Nero and his Heirs ).

My favorite YA titles include Good Night Mr. Tom, The Canning Season, Boy in the Stripped Pajamas . I also agree with #5..The Shakespeare Stealer is great!

... I thought it through and estimated that I'd read them twenty-six times. I also read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Horse and His Boy on their own a couple of times, so they've probably been read as many as twenty-eight or twenty-nine times. Remarkably, my books are still more or ...
