Only good thing about this crap is that once you see the cast, you know their motivation. I actually ordered the complete Narnia books and will read them since I only ever read Lion Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Also, I know you could play a drinking game based on the number of times I mention Wheel of Time but despite the showrunner running his mouth, the casting should’ve let everyone know exactly how the show would be. The book really explains that the hometown of the main characters is very isolated and how Rand looks different. When they leave their town they meet people of different cultures but that’s not enough. I doubt the show will do the three wives thing either.
I'd recommend reading them in the original order -- I actually disagree with C.S. Lewis' chronological reordering.
The first 3 (Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and Dawn Treader) set up the world really well with consistent characters. Silver Chair continues that a bit, and then A Horse and His Boy tells a side-story. Magician's Nephew does more world building and is far more interesting to read as the 6th book since it fills in a bunch of holes and mysteries. Last Battle last obviously makes sense in both sequences.
