Hmm. A Lewis List. Yeah, I'll put Faces and Perelandra at the top of mine. I never could get into That Hideous Strength though. I understood it intellectually, but it felt a little too sprawling, especially compared to the other Space books. For Chesterton, I must recommend The Princess and the Goblin and The Man who was Thursday: A Nightmare. The Father Brown's are short and clever, but mired in the discriminations of the time. His nonfiction leaves me swimming.

Loren –did that show up in TWHF? I know it’s there in The Last Battle. I still only half-understand TWHF.

Jeff –I am very rich. In terms of cash on hand. And jewels. And stocks, bonds, junk bonds, and etcetera.

Toni –Me too! Oh, I already said that. I haven’t read that. At some point I mean to read Jonathan Rogers book on Narnia, but haven’t yet.

Rebecca –wow, what a good brother. And today is your birthday and what do I have for you…nothing. I still love you, however. And maybe I’ll give you one of the books Gina is begging me to get rid of (we have wayyyy tooo mannyyy). If you add letters it makes it more dramatic.

Okay, another vote for Till We Have Faces. But then, you knew that, since you instilled that love in my heart. I believe you gifted it to me on my 12th birthday…

I like The Weight of Glory and the Four Loves. Has anyone read “Planet Narnia” by Michael Ward? Just curious.

I too enjoyed Till we have Faces, in fact I think one of you Smith people suggested it to me.
Didn’t know you owned a Amazon store – you must be rich!

I adore Till We Have Faces despite strongly disagreeing with Lewis’ soteriological inclusivism.

(Don’t you just love a word like “soteriological”? It’s worth all those years at college just to be able to use diction like that!)
