sebastiennejust finished re-reading the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. oh god.
this book is my childhood. my father first read the series to me when i was 3 or 4, and i read it to myself when i was 5. and the sentences have the right rhythm and "are you a great overgrown dwarf that has cut off its beard?" and the way that every time i see "cair paravel" i have to shape it with my lips because it is so beautiful is better than all the turkish delight in the world. i can't quite explain it, but it is so long since i have responded this way to a book. i don't believe i have felt this way about anything since i first read lord of the rings at age 12. that's 7 years without feeling this about anything.
