I was wondering if there are any C.S. Lewis fans on this forum. I truly enjoy his work, both his fiction and his nonfiction. I've read the following:
The entire Chronicles of Narnia
Until We Have Faces
The Screwtape Letters (his best work, IMHO)
The Four Loves
The Weight of Glory
The Abolition of Man (kinda boring, actually)
The Space Trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength)
The Great Divorce

I love his work. I have the complete Narnia collection in one big book, that I wil be re-reading this summer. I don't like the movies about the chroniclos of Nania though. I also read some of his nonfiction books. Especially the Great Divorce had a great impact on me.

Yep. Only got Narnia and the Space Trilogy, mind. Lewis and Tolkien, with some reservations, shape my moral compass.

It's funny whenever the National Institute for Clinical Excellence get mentioned on TV here. :lol:

Haven't read anything by him in a while - I should again, though. The world of the Inklings (and their rough contemporaries, Waugh-Chesterton-Robert Benson) - is fascinating to me, esp. all the pre/post-war upheaval and changes in English society that they witnessed and wove into their writings.
