Having finished the seven books, I was looking for similar material. Would the Space Trilogy (also by lewis) be a good pick ? It doesn't need christian allegories, since I'm not christian or believe in god at all. Or can you give other hints ? Thanks !

A good suggestion is The Chronicles of Prydain. It's a five-volume series of children's fantasy novels by author Lloyd Alexander. The stories detail the adventures of a young man named Taran, who is awarded the honorific of Assistant Pig-Keeper but dreams of being a grand hero, and his companions Princess Eilonwy, Fflewddur Fflam the wandering bard and king, a hairy yet gentle creature called Gurgi, and a diminuitive dwarf named Doli.
The Book of Three (1964)
The Black Cauldron (1965) — a 1966 Newbery Honor book
The Castle of Llyr (1966)
Taran Wanderer (1967)
The High King (1968) - Winner of the 1970 Newbery Medal

I tried to read the Space Trilogy. Tried. Not at all like Narnia. Maybe you would like Tamora Pierce, my favorite author, or The Inheritance Trilogy by Paolini. Or better yet, the Artemis Fowl Series By Eoin Colfer. All of the above are great.

If you are looking for something in a fantasy setting with a twist of humor try the Xanth Series by Piers Anthony or The Myth series by R. Aspirin. Not as much suspense but fun reads

Try the Prydain Chronicles (starts with The Book of Three) by Lloyd Alexander (one of my favorites, even decades later), or Susan Cooper's "The Dark is Rising" series. Both contain great mythological themes.
Just started reading Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series, VERY good and inventive... it is so meaty I don't understand how it is aimed at children/young adult readers, takes an adult mind to appreciate the complexity.
All of Tolkein, of course, excellent.

I can't remember what the series was called, but there is a series by Lloyd Alexander that seems rather similar. I agree with Sandrilene, Tamora Pierce books are wonderrful, as well as Christopher Paolini's books.

I found The Sword of Geburrah, by John White, and the other books in the series, to be very similar.

properly, in case you elect to dip further into delusion then i might propose the Wheel of Time sequence by Robert Jordan. the 1st e book is named "the attention of the international." The sequence is great, if long, notwithstanding if that's on a matching epic scale as Lord of the rings. something closer to Harry Potter that i might propose may be the Inkheart sequence. Like Harry Potter, they're seen "newborn's books" yet are lots darker and complicated than maximum books for infants. yet another sequence that i might propose to you could be the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. the 1st e book is named Sabriel. The sequence is astounding and different from different delusion memories. wish this facilitates! Please do not hesitate to look those books as much as see extra approximately them!

The "Dune Series" is a very interesting read along with Tolkein series.

any thing by Tolkien is good. My favorite is the Hobbit.
I heard the Redwall series by Brian Jacques is sort of similar. It's supposed to be wonderful.
