I never thought of Narnia as a slog ... you reading them in the "traditional" order, or the "order of events" order?
Your mentioning A Fire Upon the Deep caused a disused synapse to fire, and one rummage and book avalanche later, it turns out that I have a copy I never got around to reading. A friend of mine thrust it into my hands in a book store some years back and said "buy this." I did, but never got around to reading it. I'll have to do so now.
(I also found out during this that I appear to have both the paperback and the hardback of "slippage" by Harlan Ellison.)
