Who else here reads C.S. Lewis?
I've read the Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and Mere Christianity, and I've just recently started Miracles.

I've read the Narnia Chronicles, Out of the Silent Planet (I think it was that one...) but not much else from his works. C.S Lewis ROCKS!!!

Chronicles of Narnia, and one of the Silent Planet, though it was so weird. He had a great imagination. i think my favorite Narnia one is The Last Battle.

I'm quite the CS Lewis fan but I could never like his non-fiction book "The Abolition of Man". A very important book with important ideas but complexly written and quite frankly very tiring. His Space Trilogy book, "That Hideous Strength", is however a fictional version of the book, and "That Hideous Strength" was a very influential book for me.

without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.

Iread almost all the chronicle of Narnia yet when I started I had no idea who C.S.Lewis was I just liked the cover art on the book it turned out the first one i read was actually the last one in the series. I have also read some of his poetry they were pretty good I used it in a speech class when the assignment was to read some poetry.
Most interesting thing I read awile back C.S.Lewis and J.R.Tolkien were good friends and shared ideas and such thats why both there books are based off the bible.

HOw could you say that? They
both have their merits! Tolkien's the best! JK! I like both of their styles. "I've learned when you throw mud at others, not only do you get your hands dirty, but you also lose a lot of ground." Ravi Zacharias

I've read the Great Divorce, Out of the Silent Planet and Chronicles of Narnia. Narnia would be my favourite. I'm going to borrow Screwtape Letters from my church library soon. I'm in the process of reading Perelandra and That Hideous Strength. So far I'm enjoying Perelandra much more than Silent Planet. The first book in the trilogy was a bit heavy, a bit of a bore and not really to my liking. It had some great ideas though, it just seemed to be written with super intellegent people in mind.

I love C.S. Lewis! He's one of my favorite authors. I've read all The Cronicles of Naria books, Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, That Hideous Strength, and I'm reading the Screwtape Letters.
