From a conversation with this dear girl earlier:

Kierstyn:yeah, that’s everyone’s reaction. ;)
me: tsk, tsk!
Kierstyn: lol
me: none. at. all.

Kierstyn: correct
me: not even narnia?
Kierstyn: not even narnia
me: shame. on. you.
or is it a family policy?
Kierstyn: it was, till I was old enough to handle it
I just haven’t gotten around to it
me: still…now…
Kierstyn: actually…
me: i hold you entirely irresponsible.
Kierstyn: we did some when I was little
but I never read it.
me: right. doesn’t count.
Kierstyn: yeah
me: what shall we do with you?
Kierstyn: I was too busy reading historical fiction and r stories…. ;)
um…….forgive me? puppy eyes
me: hist…war st…hah!
Kierstyn: fantasy has never been my forte
;)
me: Lewis is brilliant, fascinating, scintillating. you’d love it.
despite the fantasy logo.
Kierstyn: and I didn’t know about all the other stuff till………last year. ;)
yeah
me: gasp
Kierstyn: I hadn’t heard of anything ‘sides narnia so……………….. halo
me: horrors!

no more anything until you’ve read Narnia and Mere Christianity.
And the Screwtape Letters.
Kierstyn: lol
me: shakes head over poor, deluded kierstyn
Poor girl! What shall we do to rescue her from this pitiable fate of a life without Lewis??
