No, I'm not a native English speaker. My native language is actually Dutch, though I am fluent in English and read almost exclusively English books. Worst part is, though, that our library really sucks, and doesn't have a lot of great fantasy books.
Re: Narnia. I know of it, and I know it's really Christian. I'm raised Christian, and when the Harry Potter books came out Narnia was recommeded as the 'approved, right, proper...' reading and it made me so bloody angry that I've had trouble ever since to start the series. I really wanna read it. (Though not for the movies; I have lots and lots of trouble with book adaptations. I much prefer books. I'm not a movie person at all, anyway)
Sidebar: If you like romance, there's another series I do like romance, especially paranormal romance, if it's written well. I love it to get lost in the happy world of those books for a while.
Anyway, don't worry too much about categories; some books are both or neither, and you just focus on reading awesome stuff. Sounds like a plan XD
