I've always enjoyed reading about these groups of writers getting together and sharing their work. I hope I'm in a circle like that one of these days. Here's a fun quote from another member of the Inklings.
'Hugo Dyson, a member of the Inklings literary group, as fellow member J R R Tolkien was reading from "The Lord of the Rings":
"Oh no, not another f***ing elf!" '
As far as Narnia goes, my priorities are different. I was supremely miffed that the costumes and props in the movie were so far below the LOTR work, the children's armor and weapons in particular. It looked like they'd used the toys the movie would spawn as the actual props. x,x
