Magician's Nephew was the best one. Silver Chair was also quite good, and the TV version had Tom Baker which is always a treat.

Marmaduke! posted:Liking Narnia can help appreciate other fantasy a lot more eg Magicians I've never actually read the Narnia books, but I watched a full season of the magicians and it was fine but then out of nowhere they had to drink some god sperm and there was a full on rape scene so Narnia must be really REALLY bad.

The Chronicles of Narnia are just extremely blatant Christian propaganda. Famously when CS Lewis asked JRR Tolkien to proofread The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Tolkien's note was just "this is patronisingly obviously a New Testament allegory"

Only thing I know about Narnia is it has some kind of magical wardrobe in it and the Lion is Jesus.

TACD posted:I was really excited the first time I found Turkish Delight for sale because the book made it out to be so delicious, and at my young age I assumed it was either something old-timey no longer available or just entirely invented. Well, it turns out it's real but it's dogshit, thanks for the disappointment C. S. Lewis I hear this constantly from Americans  Come on now, it's good stuff, especially the chocolate coated kind. Going to have to go out and rage buy some Fry's now.

Letting agency contacted us monday, declaring they were gonna come by wednesday to take photos and have a viewing. I told them the apartment isn't in a great state for that, since we live there and weren't expecting the landlord to start viewings two months before the end of the tenancy. They just served notice, after asking for a £500 a month rent increase which we told them to gently caress off with. Letting agency said okay we'll move to Friday, are you in? We're not. I work full time, so does my partner. Letting agency went "oh no problem we have a key" So now I wrote a sternly worded email that access to the property without our consent is trespass (access clauses, according to Shelter and Various Websites do not automatically override that except for repairs or emergencies), that we do not want strangers in our home without us being there, and that we have a right to quiet enjoyment. I'm arranging to WfH on Friday and consenting to the viewing then, because I bet they'd do it anyway. I also asked that in future they ask the current tenants what times are suitable before arranging viewings with third parties. The goddamn cheek.
