The Magicians Nephew
I love, love, love The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis. I have read them all before, but had the opportunity for our Book Group to re-read The Magicians Nephew as I was reading it to the kids. I know some people don't like this book that much, but this is one of my favorite books in the series. It's not my favorite because the storyline is so riveting, but first of all because the writing is like pure poetry in it's perfection and because of the analogy to The Creation and all the elements therein. I have never read this book when I haven't read the Creation account in Genesis alongside it. I just can't get over how beautifully C. S. Lewis synchronizes literature with faith and spirituality. This is truly a classic for all ages and one that I personally could read over and over again.
