cons - shannara books are like 800 pps each book
cons - narnia books are so short

pros - shannara is epic
pros - narnia is succinct

Is this some kind of a sick twisted joke? Narnia is sheer uber senescence. Shannara is the bile belched forth from the bowels of Beelzebub.

Yeah since that fake ass motherfucker ripped off tolkien like a bitch ass bitch (brooks not jrr)

But I'm dumb. you obviously made.this thread just to piss me off. i guess i should be flattered by the attention.

but back to taking you srsly: i have unfortunately read those sacriledges two or three of them and at a time when i was far less discriminating. shameless tolkien ripoff.

Christ i love narnia. once i had a large tome with all the stories and it had colored original illustrations by pauline baynes. just flipping thru those pages gave me such immense satisfavtion and an immense sense of wellbeing.

Petition to BAN (perma) crackshat (aka crabshack)

Reasons for banning proposal:

1. Intentional attempt at aggravating a top tier boarder (me)
2. Having read all six shannananananananananara books
3. Neg repping the aforementioned top tier boarder

Lol, isn't Narnia the one with the little shit who sold his family out for Turkish delight? Hate that kid.

And the other one had a magic tree or something.

Turkish delight isn't even that good. Tastes like dusty gelatin.

And disco king edmund gets his shit together and personally takes on the white witch in the battle of the fords of beruna. and in prine caspian he's a master swordsman while in dawn treader caspian defers to him as one of the legendary four rulers of narnia.

deal with it

Yeah me too. The first one was bad and rest got waaay worse.

Did I ever tell you guys that I visited Lewis' house in Oxford. I seen his writing desk (touched it too), seen the fucking WARDROBE (would have snuck thru but there were peeps about), sat on his bench in his gardeb and walked in the forest behind the house where he and jrr would stroll and tell each other tales. Also been to the Eagle and Child and saw the little corner nook where the Inklings would get plastered and recite norse poetry.

I was so happy I could have died

To be fair, I didn't even notice any allusions when I read them as a child. I remember my favorites, but only vaguely remember why:
1. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - creepy and beautiful moments, good adventure. I like when they drank the pink water and it was sweet. Also, reepicheep
2. The Silver Chair - met<>a, care paravel
3. The Magician's Nephew - this is technically the first one, although I read TLWW first. It mentions an old, tired, swollen, red sun and I liked that
