Contemplating reading the entire Chronicles of Narnia (I haven't read them since I was a child, and I haven't ever read The Horse and His Boy) where do you fall on the reading order debate?

My main objection to reading them in chronological order is that reading The Magician's Nephew last as a child BLEW MY MIND and I would like to attempt to revive that feeling even if I already know everything revealed in that book.
