What a shitbrick. I am glad I never got into her books in the first place. I saw the first movie and had no interest in seeing the others. I read half the first book to my daughter and she got bored with it, so we stopped. My wife got really into her and is disappointed neither of us are, but fuck her. I don’t want to spend a dime on her.

Why is it weird to be atheist and love the Narnia books?
Is there a lot of religious stuff in them? I’ve never read them, I just thought it was alternate fantasy world stories.

Aslan is Jesus. It’s a club-you-over-the-head allegory for Christian ideology

I’ve never read the books, but I did enjoy the movies, and it’s really disappointing. I have the DVDs, so I guess I could still watch those knowing it won’t signal any continued demand the way streaming them would, but still.

Did she get bored of it? Or were you so disinterested in the book you read it like an asshole to her and that’s why she lost interest?
A good public speaker can make a math textbook seem like Dickens.

She was bored of it. I used to do VO for a living. I know how to read a book to a child.
