I'm feeling very much like the odd one out here. I enjoyed Narnia as a child, maybe didn't recognize the Aslan sacrifice thing as obviously Christlike but did recognize a lot of the other preachy theology stuff as being extremely relevant to Christianity. Only Lewis's version of Christianity was so much more generous than the version my mom was trying to impose on me (yay America and fundamentalism) that for a long time my take on Narnia and Christianity was "I wish Christianity was as kind in real life as it is in Narnia". No betrayal; for all their many faults the Catholics are kinder and more thoughtful than many of the fundamentalist protestants.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
