So, how about a thread that lists some recommendations for things untouched by modern insanity?

C.S. Lewis can fuck right off with his Narnia shit. Now, The Screwtape Letters is an EXCELLENT work, and I grant him a lot of credit for it, but the suck known as Narnia is quite the handicap to overcome.
Why do you think Narnia is bad? Not looking for a fight, genuinely curious.
Read the series when I was 12-13ish and reread them last year, it seems decent for children's fantasy.
It's been a long time since I read them, so I don't remember all the roots of my hate, but what struck me the most as a kid was how hamfisted everything felt. The most egregious example being "Surprise, Aslan is actually JESUS! Don't you want to behave in church now little boys and girls?"
I've grown out of my angry atheist phase, but that one still sticks with me as one reason why I grew into it.
