Being rather old, I have read them all pretty nearly in the order 
they were written, and I see no real reason to read them in any other 
order - oops, that didn't sound quite right: I think you can read 
them in any order, so why not as published?

I have the same comment on the Narnia series: people rearrange them 
into the internal chronological order, but there is no great virtue 
in this IMO.
