My reading schedule is on hold recently because of the move,but I would love to bck to the chronicles of narnia series before starting anything else

I've never been able to get into the chronicles of Narnia stuff. And I know this is blasphemy, but I've always thought the Lord of the Rings is overrated too.
I much prefer Karl Edward Wagner's Kane character or even the original Conan stuff to those.

That's why I figured you would enjoy the Thing, we agree on most everything (except atonement) entertainment wise. 
Did you see HellRaiser II?

So...E.M. Forester is next, followed by Frankenstein and The Historian. That's after I finish the five novels in the pipe.  |
Frankenstein is DEADLY BORING.
