Tag - C.S. Lewis

I hate to admit it but I’ve never read any of the Narnia series of books by C.S. Lewis.

That’s all about to change with the Simply Living Book Club.

Life Skills Trainer, Jill Bonanno, joined me yesterday on 98.5 Sonshine FM for our weekly radio segment, Simply Living. We looked at some different ideas for New Year’s Resolutions and how to keep the ones we make. One of the things we talked about was making more time to read in 2009.

To help our listeners set their own goals for reading this year we’ve started a book club. Each month we’ll suggest a book and then give listeners a month to read it before we discuss the book on-air, inviting people to call in with their thoughts or even email what they thought of the book. We’re hoping to look at a mixture of new titles and some of the classics.

To get the ball rolling we’re going to be reading The Lion, The With and the Wardrobe, part of the Chronicles of Narnia. The generous people at Koorong gave five of our listeners a book containing the complete series of Narnia titles so that they can enjoy being part of the book club. They’ve also given me a copy so that I can read along. I’m looking forward to spending a few hours immersed in the writings of C.S. Lewis.

Have you read The Lion, The With and the Wardrobe recently? (No, I don’t mean have you seen the movie.) Would you like to be part of the book club? Maybe you can grab a copy and read or re-read the story before the end of the month. You can leave your thoughts in the comments section of this post. I’d also be interested in your suggestions for books we could read in the coming months.
