Just a brief post, as you know I share the Mary Renault love.
But I'm fascinated that your fave of the Chronicles series is The Silver Chair, as I've always been drawn to that one, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. But that in-your-mind's-eye visual of drawing back when they realize that the maze that thay were in was a huge stone message… it just gave me goosebumps now, thinking about it. And our dear, sad, Puddleglump was in that story, right? Oh. Such a great story. Lewis was certainly a great storyteller, other erstwhile messages or no. That's probably why I found myself so sucked into attracted to Tolkien when I discovered him in my 30's. That and my prehistory of lots of Ray Bradbury.
;)
I tend not to buy books (yes, I'm teh evil, but I tend not to read things more than once unless they're part of my decade-old college curriculum or a few other erstwhile faves. Maybe I'll do this meme after all). Tolkien, Renault, a few Manga, Rowling, and an excellent book The Loner's Manifesto not included.
