Reread of my fave Narnia book. 

As an adult, I see the religious imagery, and I think my awareness of it diminished my enjoyment of the story. Not to say it wasn’t an enjoyable read, it was, and I’m glad to have done it, but sometimes things aren’t as good the second time around, and that’s perfectly okay.
