The Chronicles of Narnia - Meta

If anyone’s interested in some very good analysis of The Chronicles of Narnia, there’s an excellent series of posts up on Tor.com going through the series in publication order. The series is currently covering The Magician’s Nephew.

Very strong Christian themes and discussion. Subtler (but not especially subtle, if you look at the publication dates of the posts) political themes that relate to a lot of the big events of this year. Doesn’t shy away from the the more difficult elements of the books, including issues of sexism and racism, and gives a thoughtful perspective on them.

I’ve bolded the ones that really stood out to me.

Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom og heaven belongs to such as these."

Christian themes in these stories hit you over the head, as apparently they're that obvious. Their author himself designed them the way he did, also claiming no childern's story that can only be read and enjoyed by childern is a good children's story. Some people claim the stories in the Bible are naught but silly stories for gullible children and adults should know better than believeing in them. This one is for all of us, who find a sense of wonder and amazment in C.S. Lewis' works and the Bible. Our Father in Heaven, give us a child-like heart that will always seek joy and innocence. And let us not behave childish every time things don't turn up the way we wanted.

i can’t sleep so here’s a list of stuff i read from around elementary school to middle school that made me bawl my eyes out also spoiler warning if you’re one of those people who likes going into stories context blind. anyways, i love tear-jerker stories here are the ones that broke me from when i was around 7-13 years old

of mice and men by john steinbeck (i dont feel the need to go into this one i already talked about how i had to step out into the hallway by the end)

percy jackson and the olympians: the last olympian (most of that book hurt but especially the parts with may castellan which made me sob for two hours straight)

charlotte’s web by e.b. white (my mom read this book to me for bedtime when i was seven and the night we left off with charlotte dying made me cry myself to sleep)

flowers for algernon by daniel keyes (i read the short story version adn the full effect didn’t hit till around a week later where i broke down at the dinner table)

the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe by c.s. lewis (the christianity allegories flew over my head so i really did think aslan was dead and would have sobbed myself to sleep again if my dad hadn’t intervened to finish the following chapter that night and let me know “NONONO HE’S OKAY HE’S OKAY”)

voyage of the dawn treader by c.s. lewis (the part with eustace clarence scrubb stuck in the form of a dragon always got me, idk why)

the one and only ivan by katherine applegate (my mom actually admitted to me that she cried about that book in private when i hadn’t been around and i just went “oh mood”)

An Outgrown Genre. Christian Literature

I’ve read a lot of what can be termed ‘Christian literature.’ There are a lot of different types of stories under the broad umbrella of Christian Lit. I’ve read Christian Historical, Christian Romance, Christian Horror (yes, this exists), the more difficult to find Christian Science Fiction and of course Christian Fantasy, the most famous being Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. There’s Christian Western and there is Christian Mystery and Thriller. And eventually, somewhere between high school and college, I had to stop reading it. Though, there were a few books I really loved; Lori Wick’s Californian & Kensington Chronicles series, Frank E. Peretti’s horror novels, certain Gilbert Morris House of Winslow books, Lawhead’s Celtic Trilogy (which was better than his take on Arthur, I couldn’t finish the second book of that travesty), Francine River’s Mark of the Lion series, Roger Elwood’s Angelwalk Trilogy and Jane Peart’s the Brides of Montclair. (All of these should tell you how long ago I stopped reading Christian Lit.)

Of course, no one was twisting my arm and forcing me to stop reading it. I stopped reading voluntarily on my own. There were several reasons for this. One, I was growing up and I just stopped relating to the characters in the books. Two, most Christian Literature has very distinct writing style. The authors tell you the story instead of showing you the story. It was setting my teeth on edge and making my brain feel fuzzy. And lastly, I realized that in almost every Christian Lit book I read (Tolkien, Lewis and maybe Lawhead being exceptions here) the message was coming before the story.

Putting the message before the story is the last thing any writer should do. The story, the characters and their conflicts and what happens should be paramount to what the book is about. However, in Christian Lit, it felt to me that what was more important was putting in Bible verses every 50 pages and putting in some moral lesson. A lot of times, these moral lessons wouldn’t even be necessary if children and adults weren’t being taught the exact opposite moral lessons at home and in Sunday School. (My favorite of these was ‘it’s okay to love your husband and be physically attracted to him and enjoy sex.’ Really? I didn’t know that. I thought sex was a dirty thing and being physically attracted to the opposite sex is just wrong, much less loving them!) And most, if not all of the stories eventually devolved down into the protagonist discovering Jesus as their Lord and Savior (while finding true love of course with a good Christian man or woman.)

Now, I understand there is a place for these types of books. Lordy is there a place for them. They wouldn’t sell so well in the Christian community if they weren’t popular and at times necessary. However, there comes a point where I didn’t want to read yet another story about some male or female finding God. I was ready for the grown up version of the Voyage of the Dawn Treader (and even that has Eustace’s redemption story in it, but at least his turning into a dragon and back was entertaining and not obvious as ‘conversion’.) Give me a story about a protagonist that has been a Christian a long time and their being a Christian is just a background point and not the whole point of the story. What conflicts do they face in their life that it doesn’t hinge on whether or not they are a Christian?

I know a lot of people talk about the Christian life being deep and profound and I’m still not sure I get that. Deep and profound seems to me what you make of life rather than what religious tenant you hold to. I’m sure there are Buddhists and Muslims who feel their lives are deep and profound, the same for atheists, thank you very much.

Parts of Frank E. Peretti’s books almost focused on story. Then, he fell back on the whole “must redeem a protagonist” and I lost interest even if there were angels and demons and maybe Nephilim! (The giant children of demons and human women.) Even the Left Behind series, as ‘thriller’ as any Christian Lit series get couldn’t quite get away from redeeming the ‘left behind’ protagonists of the Pre-Tribulation rapture. (I didn’t get to the last book, so I am beginning to wonder if the authors believe in a Pre-Trib and a Post-Trib rapture given the titles. Yes, these are the things that Christians argue about, will Jesus take the believers before, in the middle or after the tribulation or all three! I sincerely hope before. Sincerely.)

To me, Christian Lit began to feel like ‘preaching to the choir.’ You see, Christian Lit is written by Christians for Christians and really doesn’t get much traction outside of CBD, Christian Book stores and Church Libraries. There are the rare exceptions like the Left Behind series, the Shack or the Prayer of Jabez. My personal exception is “Heaven is for Real.” There is a trap in preaching to the choir, the choir agrees with you and nothing new ever happens. (I understand the current fad in Christian Lit is still the Amish.) Or, the choir apes what the rest of culture is doing instead of coming up with something new for themselves. (If you haven’t been inside a Christian Bookstore, it is sort of a surreal experience to see the Home Depot parody t-shirts and the racks of Christian “metal” music.) The last Christian phenomena that hit mainstream culture I remember is Veggie Tales. (And now I just showed how old I am.)

Now, before someone points out the Divergent author is a Christian. I know. And knowing this and knowing how the trilogy ends it makes a great deal of sense that she is a Christian (and totally missed the point of Christianity at the same time.) Divergent sort of feels to me like Harry Potter met the Matrix complete with the same fate as Neo without Harry Potter’s triumphant return from the dead.

See, that is one thing that Christian Literature tends to do right. They have hopeful endings. Since, that is one of the primary tenants of Christianity, hope. And this is one of the prime tenants of writing as well, thou should have a happy or at least hopeful or uplifting ending. I usually didn’t come out of a Christian book feeling unsatisfied with the way it ended. It was the fact that what could be really good plots got thrown aside for preaching and Bible verses. Usually the same Bible verses in fact. The Bible is huge, yet every author used the same verses in their books. It got really weird after a while and I skimmed those sections. I wanted a gripping story with conflicted and exciting characters or at least funny characters. Not to be bored by them dithering over Biblical passages yet again or dealing with modern female issues in medieval times (and sometimes these characters wouldn’t even have access to a Bible.)

My favorite thing about Christian Lit really was the cute and fluffy romance aspects of it. Since, Christian Lit removes the sex element almost entirely (except for the ‘being attracted and wanting to have sex with your husband is okay’ bits) the books primarily focused on the relationships between the characters and why the relationships could or would work rather than how sizzling their sex lives were. There are some days I really miss that aspect of Christian Lit. I like warm and heartwarming things!

I doubt that I’ll go back to reading Christian Literature any time soon unless someone can prove to me without a shadow of a doubt that the story is about the character and the conflict rather than the message of “Love God and marry a Christian.” I say this with utmost affection. Because it’s not that Christian Literature is horribly bad. (Sort of like romance as a genre isn’t horribly bad.) It’s just no longer for me.

Stumbled Upon Lewis: Thinking Out Loud

Mr. Lewis from an 18-year old girl was more than an inspiration. He had lived the life of my random musings. It's unfortunate that I haven't live in his generation. We could have gotten along pretty well. He gave clarity to my blurry philosophical queries. But maybe things should not be as we wished to be. I'm grateful to read one of the products of his lithe mind.

C.S Lewis, the author of the prominent fictional story ---Chronicles of Narnia. It was an accident that I have stumbled upon his biography. He was intriguing by nature, although he had the mind of a natural man, spiritual things resonates with him.

His book that I have read first was the "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" I was not a fan of the adventure genre before besides Percy Jackson series but it was odd even the dialogue of a mouse, Sir Reepicheep captivated his audience with his utterly medievalist prose. The eloquence with that talking mouse was hilarious. He, I would use he in respect to the person of the fictional character --- Sir Reepicheep the leader of the knights, rather than “it.” Sir Reepicheep is the epitome of wit and courage. I can still remember when the ship sailed to the end of the Eastern Sea heading to the Country of Aslan.  Aslan is the son of the Great Emperor of Narnia.

Sir Reepicheep the talking mouse is a mouse of words. He was so persistent to reach the country of Aslan. If the ship was to be destroyed he would sail with that little boat he had gotten from the island of Monopods. And if it were to sink too, he would swim until he is so tired and lifeless. Aslan's country was the end goal of the creatures of Narnia. The place was not only inhabited by bipeds which was humans but with Talking Beasts also.

I couldn't really capture how hilarious and melodramatic the scene was due to my ignorance of the right words to describe something so sublime. He was a man of noble character and eloquence, his wit is like a pin hitting the dart, quick, precise and thorough. In my next entry I would probably take this unsophistication away, and plausibly work my way against the odds of empty musings and ignorance.

There are only two differences between a noble man and a beast. One is seen in the amount of time and courage to refute his beliefs and then by the time he would concur; he would teach others that inexorable learning he had acquired. And the other was accepting offered packaged beliefs at face value.

He reminds me of the tragedy of Socrates who lived a noble life and a courageous act to be reckoned with. "An unexamined life is not worth living," said he. It resonated with what Mr. Lewis has been saying. "A real risk tests the reality of a belief." 

Socrates was a martyr and I am not in the position to say whether he was a man of virtue or a man of foolishness. But if given the privilege to speak with the late philosopher, I would have said "Well done."

Please excuse my emphatic words, I am not, or I was dealing with metaphors and ambiguity before. Although appreciated in the context of literature it’s  rejected in a world where the main purpose of a man was to give clarity of the abstract. And I am quite a novice in the field of intellectuals.

P.S. Wrote this when I was 18, I wanted to go back and love what I neglected in the last 3 years. Magulo ung thoughts. Lewis like I had been to the point of atheism but.

Happy Sunday bookworms!

Did everyone have a good weekend?  I had a lovely weekend full of watching the U.S. Open & football, my kids’ sporting events, bonfires, charity dance events, and pickle ball.  The weather cooled off this week, and things were finally starting to feel like Fall.  Unfortunately summer is going to come back with a vengeance this week with temperatures returning to 90°F.

Sure, it’s fun eating croissants and seeing the Eiffel Tower, but there’s true ghostly danger lurking beneath Paris, in the creepy underground Catacombs.

When Cass accidentally awakens a frighteningly strong spirit, she must rely on her still-growing skills as a ghosthunter — and turn to friends both old and new to help her unravel a mystery. But time is running out, and the spirit is only growing stronger.

And if Cass fails, the force she’s unleashed could haunt the city forever.

» Book Girl: A Journey Through the Treasures and Transforming Power of a Reading Life by Sarah Clarkson

*3.5 Stars*

I loved learning about Sarah’s journey & her connection to books.  I think Sarah has excellent reading tastes, and will probably borrow the physical copy from the library to copy down all the reading recommendation lists.  I gave it 3.5 stars because it was too heavily focused on religion & faith for my tastes.

» Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Gods of Jade and Shadow was one of my most anticipated books of 2019, but it came up a bit short for me.  The story felt like a fairy tale filled with Mexican folklore, which I loved, but the book felt very surface level.

» The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

*4.5 Stars*

Set in the harsh wild of Alaska in the 70s, The Great Alone was an excellent survival type of story – in more ways than one.  While reading I thought Hannah was going to go the cliche route a few times, but she kept on surprising me.

» The Dragon Republic (The Poppy War #2) by R.F. Kuang

The Dragon Republic was an excellent follow up to The Poppy War.   The political intrigue in this book is engrossing.

» The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia #5) by C.S. Lewis

This has been my least favorite book in the series thus far, but still a very enjoyable read.  There is something so nostalgic about this series, which doesn’t exactly make sense since it is my first time reading these books…  If I had to rank the series thus far, it would be 1) Chronicles of Narnia, 2) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, 3) The Silver Chair, 4) Prince Caspian, and 5) The Horse and His Boy.

» Wintersmith (Tiffany Aching #3) by Terry Pratchett

Tiffany Aching is a trainee witch — now working for the seriously scary Miss Treason. But when Tiffany witnesses the Dark Dance — the crossover from summer to winter — she does what no one has ever done before and leaps into the dance. Into the oldest story there ever is. And draws the attention of the Wintersmith himself.

As Tiffany-shaped snowflakes hammer down on the land, can Tiffany deal with the consequences of her actions? Even with the help of Granny Weatherwax and the Nac Mac Feegle — the fightin’, thievin’ pictsies who are prepared to lay down their lives for their “big wee hag.”

Wintersmith is the third title in an exuberant series crackling with energy and humour. It follows The Wee Free Men and Hat Full of Sky.

» Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson

For fans of Tina Fey and David Sedaris—Internet star Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess, makes her literary debut.

Jenny Lawson realized that the most mortifying moments of our lives—the ones we’d like to pretend never happened—are in fact the ones that define us. In the #1 New York Times bestseller, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson takes readers on a hilarious journey recalling her bizarre upbringing in rural Texas, her devastatingly awkward high school years, and her relationship with her long-suffering husband, Victor. Chapters include: “Stanley the Magical, Talking Squirrel”; “A Series of Angry Post-It Notes to My Husband”; “My Vagina Is Fine. Thanks for Asking”; “And Then I Snuck a Dead Cuban Alligator on an Airplane.” Pictures with captions (no one would believe these things without proof) accompany the text.

Starred review for THE QUEST TO THE UNCHARTED LANDS!

“A must-have choice for all middle grade shelves” – starred review, School Library Journal

A huge round of congratulations to New York Times bestselling author Jaleigh Johnson on this glowing review!

School Library Journal goes on to say, “The author’s endearing, STEAM-loving heroine and magical hero hit all the right buttons for middle grade readers. Stella is resourceful and clever yet kind and caring.”

THE QUEST TO THE UNCHARTED LANDS releases June 13, 2017 from Delacorte / Penguin Random House and stars a brave young alchemist who stows away on an exploration airship. This book is perfect for anyone who loved C.S. Lewis’s VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER!

THE QUEST TO THE UNCHARTED LANDS Stella Glass dreams of exploring worlds beyond her home of Solace, but when her famous parents are sent on a historic mission to the Uncharted Lands, it’s simply too dangerous for her to join them. By order of the king, she is left behind.

Missing out on the excitement is one thing, but Stella is devastated at the thought of her parents flying into the unknown. So she takes matters into her own hands. Instead of staying with family as planned, she steals away and—right before takeoff—sneaks aboard the airship.

But Stella isn’t the only stowaway.

In the cargo bay is a boy who is also desperate to get to the Uncharted Lands. And someone else who’s determined to keep the ship from making it there at all. . . .

Jaleigh wrote a wonderful piece about the Chamelins and Sarnuns in her books – two of the mysterious creatures that help form the amazing world of Solace. Read the article here!
