Piemaster is new here, and thusfar unaware that jumping in new and accusing people of being snobs in your first post might be considered a bit rude.
Piemaster, those of us who prefer the original published order do not do so because we look down on you or others who prefer the chronological order. So there is no snobbery involved. We simply consider the original published order to be better in the overall arc of the Narnian chronicles.
To be honest, the most important thing is that LLW be read first. It is the best book at establishing the character of Aslan, the nature of Narnia, and the relationship between Narnia and "our world". My own opinion is that since Lewis believed the ideas from these books were given to him by the Holy Spirit, then it's best to let the first book the Spirit inspired be the first book read.
