First Steps into Narnia

I've finally done something productive! I've started The Magician's Nephew, which is book 1 in the Narnia series. For whatever reason, I decided today that I was sick of music and decided to listen to the book on tape that I've had for a month or two but haven't listened to. Surprisingly, it put me in a good mood, which was a breath of fresh air after my period of woe-is-me I'm unemployed BS.

It's an interesting story. So far, Polly and Digory have met and started exploring, and then Polly was offered a ring by Digory's uncle, touched it, and then vanished. In the second chapter, Digory's uncle explained to him his personal history and introduced him to the idea of Narnia. And that's where I ended.

So, not a TON has happened so far but it was very enjoyable nonetheless and definitely helpful for escaping a life of woe-is-me-I-need-a-job. Maybe a few more chapters later or tomorrow (but with any luck I won't have time because I'll be subbing).

Woe is me, but Narnia is distracting me from it.
