The Resume

    (November 29, 1898-November 22, 1963)
    Wrote the 'Chronicles of Narnia,' 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,' 'Prince Caspian,' 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,' 'The Silver Chair,' 'The Horse and His Boy,' 'The Magician's Nephew' and 'The Last Battle'

Why he might be annoying:

    He was raised a Catholic, then became an atheist, then became a Catholic again.
    He was loud and exuberant, with a booming voice.
    He initially dropped out of college after one term, though he later went to Oxford for a full four years.
    He wrote the 'Chronicles of Narnia' out of chronological order, confusing his fans.
    His books contain scenes that are dark and scary, especially for the children that read them.
    He disliked his name and insisted that he be called Jack, after his dog.
    Until he married, he was uneasy about showing his emotions.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His mother died when he was 10.
    Though he was an atheist most of his life, he wrote the 'Chronicles of Narnia' as a Christian allegory for children.
    He was good friends with J.R.R. Tolkien and together they formed the literary circle 'The Inklings.'
    Together with Tolkien he made fantasy a popular literary subject in the 20th century.
    His wife died of cancer three years after their marriage and his experience with watching her go through it got him to adopt more natural emotions.
    The character Treebeard, in 'The Lord of the Rings,' is based on him.
    He died the same day that President Kennedy was shot.
