Lewis wrote them in a certain order, which you have been shown. He wrote The Magician's Nephew AFTER the first five books because he thought his readers might like to know how Narnia came to be. Some publishers have re-ordered them, and there is a huge controversy about this among Lewis fans. It makes no difference to me, since I already read them in publishing order, but your insistence that there is a "correct" order that is less confusing is simply preposterous.
Maybe you or someone else could continue the discussion with this guy, BigSkyFreeper, if you have the patience because I certainly don't have the patience anymore.
His rudeness is only exceeded by his density. The best I can glean from this discussion is that his argument boils down to: If you prefer the original, written order of "Narnia" ("The Lion, the Witch..." first; "Magician's Nephew" sixth) then that is akin to wanting to move the Book of Genesis to the second to last book of the Bible. That seems to be his whole argument in a nutshell though if you try to pin him down to exactly what he means he will obfuscate, appear not to understand and change the subject. (Or maybe he really doesn't understand?)
I'm tired of the game. I toss the torch...
Did you read my earlier post? It seems like C.S. Lewis didn't really even care much about the order. He originally wrote LWW as a single book, and then decided to write more.
It seems like the order was not of concern to him, so I don't know why anyone is arguing over the order.
It seems to be a personal choice, and let it be at that.
