Chronicles of Narnia
May 11 - June 1, 1999
Prerequisite: Most participants should be familiar with the series, at
least from watching the videos. Ideally, most of the participants will
have read all seven books in the series at least once. (Feel free to
join us even if you are totally unfamiliar, but it's going to be a
pretty short discussion if most participants haven't read the books.
I'm sure I could type about them for four hours, but I doubt if anyone
would want to read it.)

Welcome and introduction of participants
Discussion Questions:
Don't be ridiculous! We'll never finish all the questions from the
first three weeks unless I'm the only one who's read the books. This
week will be everyone's chance to get in the comments, stories,
observations that they didn't get to share in the first three weeks.
