Ahhh fiction...
If you had known me in high school, you would have known that the only things I ever read were the stuff assigned in school...if that. When I hit college, I started getting interested in reading more, especially theological stuff. Thanks to my super-awesome-my-facebook-status-changing girlfriend, shortly before Christmas I picked up and read through my first fiction book since...well. A long dang time. And it was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. If you had known me in middle school, placing that book in my possession would have meant condemning it to a firey death in a bonfire. However, I whipped through the series like apparating from one country to another and loved it (often staying up til 3 or 4AM to finish books). So to keep the fiction train going, I started reading the Chronicles of Narnia. I'm starting with The Magician's Nephew because it's the first in the chronological story of Narnia, and let me tell you, I'm loving it. Please, go get the series and start your reading with this one. It's epic. You will not regret it. I'm sure I will have more posts that come from this series. Also...read more fiction. And C. S. Lewis.
