A few of the 'books' on the top 100 list aren't really single books, but rather multi-volume series. I figure rather than going through an entire series all at once it would be better to break them up and read one part here and there. The first series I'm tackling is C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. Instead of reading them in publication order, I chose to read them in chronological order, thus starting with the 6th book published The Magician's Nephew which is pretty much a prequel to The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. The story is nice and very self contained and an excellent place to start... especially since it explains how the witch got to Narnia, how Aslan the lion created Narnia, and why the wardrobe functions as the portal between here and Narnia.
I don't have anything negative to say about it at all. Maybe after Atlas Shrugged any book would have seemed great. The book is perfect for all ages, it is funny and whimsical and I'd think it would appeal to children and adults. It made me want to go right into the next book in the series, but I do want to pace myself on the series. I give it an A.
