1. Gina Marie GuadagninoInterview

   The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. I read it for the first them when I was eight, and I was instantly in love with Narnia. Predictably, this led to an obsession with reading in crawl-spaces and closets. I was constantly looking for a way to escape reality through a magic portal, and failing to find…

2. Christopher GreysonInterview

   Besides the Bible, it would have to be The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis because it really lit the fire of my imagination. The dream of adventuring into a world created by someone else was so cool I wanted to make my own world and invite people to come there.

3. Kyle “Guante” Tran MyhreInterview

   I wish I could remember. I’m sure I read books before this, but the earliest I can distinctly remember is probably The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis.

4. Beth RevisInterview

   Two come to mind. The first is The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis—it was the first story I read where I realized there was a deeper meaning to the story. It made me view literature as a puzzle to be solved. And the Harry Potter books by JK Rowling, because they reminded me that stories have value even…

5. Alison LittlewoodInterview

   Oh, I feel like I should be choosing the one book that would make everyone be good to each other and magically make the world a better place. I’m not sure that’s possible, so I’m not going to pick some deeply philosophical tome. Instead, I’d love it if more people realised how wonderful it can be to read and enjoy…

6. Sarah MorganInterview

   The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. I read it so many times the cover fell off.

7. Charlie HolmbergInterview

   Oh man, that’s hard. How young are we talking? I can’t say I ever had a huge “wow” or learning moment with any specific book that I read, so I wouldn’t go off of that, just off of good stories. I do think everyone should read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis at some point in time.

8. Siobhan CurhamInterview

   The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. I completely lost myself in the world of Narnia – the characters felt so real and I could practically taste the Turkish delight! And it was the first book that made me cry, when I thought that Aslan had died. This was when I first realised how powerful books could be.

9. Andrew SalgadoInterview

   Without a doubt, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Every so often I return to that book, and unlike a lot of things I loved as a child, it still holds up. Forget the fact that its basically Catholic pedagogy in disguise, but its a wonderful book. So profound. I used to try to read the entire series…
