This November 22 is the 50th anniversary of C. S. Lewis' death. Wouldn't it be appropriate to gather favorite quotes from The Chronicles of Narnia throughout the next year?
Bits of dialogue and significant plot moments could be included, I think, as well as quotes of the usual sort.
Tentative schedule:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe . . . Nov-Dec 2013
Prince Caspian . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jan-Feb 2014
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader . . . . . . . Mar-Apr 2014
The Silver Chair . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . May-June 2014
The Horse and His Boy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . July-Aug 2014
The Magician's Nephew . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Sept-Oct 2014
The Last Battle . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Nov-Dec 2014
I know, I know--that's actually a little more than a year. :D

"Now," said Bree. "All that about galloping for a day and a night, like in stories, can't really be done. It must be walk and trot: but brisk trots and short walks." - The Horse and His Boy, Ch. IX.
