I revamped my reading list over our vacation, since I really didn't feel like lugging the Institutes around with me. Instead, I re-read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, my favorite of the Chronicles. I think this fondness is because of the quest motif, since I've always enjoyed stories where adventurers travel from place to place on some errand, encountering strange and amazing things on each leg of the journey, whether it be The Odyssey (or even The Aeneid), Huckleberry Finn, or The Legend of Zelda.
This could also explain why I like roadtripping so much.
