magician or Narnia

i did not read the magicians, instead i read the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. I thought it was on the list of alternate readings but now im not seeing it. Anyway, I have watched the first 5 Harry Potter movies which i thought were great, i love stories of magic and adventure, the fact in the movies that the magic school is hidden makes sense hehe, i really liked the use of mythological beings in the stories like the basilisk, the phoenix,and griffons. The Chronicles of Narnia was a good movie but a better book, i first read it when i was 12 waaaay back in 1984 so reading it again gave me a different experience than i remembered, also seeing the movie gave me more visual reference but like most novels turned to movies they are very different.  I also started to read the golden compass but only got about half way, i will finish it this weekend because like Narnia i saw the movie and now im getting a better view of the fantasy world created in the novel.

the Hobbit

the hobbit is one of my favorite book all time, i read half of the book when i was a kid in high school, never got to finish it. I also watched the animated movie around the same time which was great. Now i got to read the book in full and loved it. i love these epic stories of adventure with goblins, trolls, dwarves, elves , armies and battle, magic, wizards and most of all the dragon.
