Not going to. Funnily, I just ordered a one volume edition.

I barely remember anything from that series anymore. I read them all but it's been a literal decade since then. The last Hitchhiker's Guide book was traumatically unforgettable though, a perfect tangled web of an evil master plan coming true. I don't think Lewis or Tolkien ever attempted anything like that. Vonnegut certainly did though so Adams wasn't alone. The last time I experienced a work of fiction that traumatizing was the anime Kaiba. Ever since then the world seems to have decided to cease producing such emotional works. When I was a kid I watched the muppet bird die and Protoman turn evil and die after getting saved by Chaud. Fiction just doesn't do that anymore, or maybe I'm just too numb now to experience those feelings again.

Well, Narnia is a kid's series. It's not supposed to be traumatizing. lol. LOTR is heroic romance, so not exactly that either.
It's an interesting contrast though. They knew trauma well enough. Both were haunted by WW1, just as Vonnegut was haunted by WW2. But they were men of God and he was a hopeless degenerate atheist. Not sure what Douglas Adams history with trauma was, but he called himself a "radical atheist". So he was another degenerate.

Did you get the one with big pages and illustrations?

It is interesting. Vonnegut and Tolkien share many themes too yet heavily contrast in how they use them. Cat's Cradle uses determinism to say doom and gloom is inevitable while The Silmarillion uses determinism to say God's will is inevitable. What I also find interesting is the Christians chose fantasy while the atheists chose sci-fi. That always confused me as a Christian Star Trek and Star Wars fan who knew lots of atheist D&D players.

Yep. Color illustrations, with a big picture of Aslan on the cover (not the movie tie in, but a painting of Aslan). This is the best one volume Narnia I've seen.

I used to love Trek myself, but both SW and Trek have destroyed themselves. I wish I never was a fan now. I don't trust any media to be done well anymore. Netflix is apparently rebooting Narnia as a mini series, but I'm really skeptical that they'll go "woke" on that too. The only saving grace may be that the CS Lewis Estate still owns the rights, so perhaps they have some say.

Netflix is shoving nudity into their new LOTR series. Demons don't make their own culture. They corrupt others.

I liked horse and his boy and the last battle but I think the best one I've ever read is the magician's nephew - as a bonus it didn't involve those annoying Pevensie kids
