Hello, my name is Bo. Last semester, I had the pleasure of taking a philosophy class entitled: "Philosophy of Literature: JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Charles Williams, the Modern Romantics, and the Meaning of Life." I had been a fan of all three, Lewis in particular, for a very long time (as well as a lifelong geek girl), and the title alone had me hooked. I had no idea that the three of them (and others) worked together! Out of the loop, that's me...

It was a very enjoyable class, and the result of it was that I was invited to be in a private discussion group during this current semester, along with about six other students. Each of us will produce a 12-18 page thesis on one of the topics touched on in class, or one we choose ourselves. So here I am. My topic is (tenatively) an exploration of the archetypal objects of power in the Chronicles of Narnia.

Pleased to meetcha. And yes, I saw the first movie, and I enjoyed it. And yes, I got choked up when I saw the trailer for "Prince Caspian" in the theatre. Narnia was truly my escape as a child, and it really moves me to see it brought to life - probably much the same way LotR fans felt!

My favorite book (since the topic was raised earlier in this Tribe) is "The Horse and His Boy", followed closely by "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".

I'm currently reading "That Hideous Strength", also by Lewis. It's... very British!
