I bought today four books :) :

-The Magician's Nephew
-The Horse and his Boy
-Prince Caspian
-The Voyage of The "Dawn Treader"


Those are the only 4 books they had at the store, they didn't have TLTWATW, TSC and TLB :(

The owner said it will take a while to get me the three books missing.
So my question is: which one of these four should I read first?

I'd go for PC next, then VDT, then HHB and the MN. But it's only an opinion of course!

But do they have a special order? Like The Hobbit,The Fellowship Of The Ring, The Two Towers, etc?

well, there is the order CS. Lewis made them in, and there is the order of the story...

My opinion is to not start the books until you read LWW first. That was the first book the Lewis wrote, and introduces Aslan the best way. Try borrowing LWW from the library, then picking it up for your collection later. But the best way to begin the series (in my opinion) is to start with LWW

Well it depends on your personal opinion:

Most people like to read them in publishing order, because this unfolds the world in the same way CSLewis wrote it - so its more 'fun' or 'surprising'. This is the order:

The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Silver Chair
The Horse and His Boy
Magicians Nephew
Last Battle

(i thin thats right??)

However, there is a chronological order. Although this gives things in a sensible time ordered fashion, it can sometimes be confusing for new readers, and ruins surprises - but if you like chronology (like me!!) you'll read them in this order:

Magicians Nephew
Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe
The Horse and His Boy
Prince Caspian
Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Silver Chair
Last Battle

Hope that helps!!!

Ok, thanks a lot, I'll try to find THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. If I can't find it soon I'll start with MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW.

That is the wisest way, in my opinion. I prefer to start with LWW, but ifit absolutely is not available, start with MN. Enjoy!

Have you tried checking 'Amazon.com' for the two other books? They're usually pretty good in terms of delivery ... you might want to take a look at it if you can't find the books at a local book-store ...

Well, you see, I've only read 'The magiceans nephew' But I heard the other ones on tapes. I started with LWW because TMN wasn't out yet on tapes. (cassets)

I bought yesterday THE SILVER CHAIR and THE LAST BATTLE, but still I can't find LWW.

Well that's odd; you would think with the movie coming out that LWW would be easier to find than the other six books.

Have you tried Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble's websights?

Its probably hard to find because so many people just want to read LLW before the movie comes out...and they don't care about the other books until those movies come out. Sad, but I could see some people doing that.

I think that LWW is harder to find exactly cause the movie's coming and everybody's buying it.

I'll look in Amazon.
