It's quite evident that you are fluent in English, and I was just curious. Actually, I should've been more precise and asked whether you prefer English or Greek *translations* of works. Obviously, it's always preferable to read works in their original language.
I haven't read translations of any book yet, and one of these days I will try, simply to see what the differences are, if there are any. I realize it's dependent on the translator's ability, but supposedly some of the better works would have been translated with great expertise. I may choose Narnia, in fact, as my first attempt. When it comes to movies, I've found that results do vary.
I haven't read the Chronicles so I can't tell you if your above post betrays anything :)
And yes I'm someone you already know, specifically from Rantburg, first letter of my pseudonym is "R"...the rest you can probably figure out :)
