I'm just posting this on a whim. For the first time in my adult life (and for the first time in over a decade for that matter), I decided to re-read the books that comprise The Chronicles of Narnia. Over the past decade, though, there has been some controversy about the order in which the books should be read. There's the publication order of:
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Horse and His Boy
The Magician's Nephew
The Last Battle
Then there's the chronological order, in which the series is currently being released and presented:
The Magician's Nephew
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
The Horse and His Boy
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Last Battle
I felt this worthy to bring up here because Star Wars fans get into similar debates, especially at a forum like this, where, if we acknowledge the prequels at all, we encourage people to watch the OT first, despite the official sequence handed down by the company. It should come as no surprise that I'm a publicationist when it comes to these books. So, yeah, any and all Narnia fans on these boards, which order do you prefer, and what's your reasoning?

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
