of course i like to read them all. i just find that the latter ones like the horse and his boy, prince caspian, the silver chair, and the last battle are more captivating that the first couple.

Prince Caspian and The Silver Chair are Nos. 2 & 3... Later ones are Dawn Treader, Horse and his Boy, and Magician's Nephew, in order of composition (which is how they should be read. don't let anyone tell you otherwise!)
Lewis had better works, of course. The Screwtape Letters was a masterpiece... Wormwood is one of the all-time great characters.

If they are coming out with it to theatres I hope they are able to do it's justice. It was such a great book series, a legacy.

He wrote them in a certain order for a reason. Do not doubt Lewis. Read them as he intended, they're better that way. The magician's nephew is a prequel...
In chronological order, they are:
1. The Magician's Nephew
2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. The Horse and his Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle

However, in proper order, they are:
1. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
2. Prince Caspian
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
4. The Silver Chair
5. The Horse and his Boy
6. The Magician's Nephew
7. The Last Battle

That's the way they should be read. However, people often switch Dawn Treader and Silver Chair. My collection has #3 labelled #4 and vice versa. That doesn't make any sense at all, so who knows why they did that. But the second list IS the order they were meant to be read in.

And nickskier, Tolkein helped Lewis quite a lot with Narnia. Hard to go wrong when you have that kind of help... not to say that Lewis wasn't a genius in his own right, because he was... and far more prolific than Tolkein, as well. Probably because the latter spent 45 years making Middle Earth.
