my dear wormwood...
Revisited an old favorite yet again. I've read this book countless times, and also have it on tape courtesy of a friend. I still find it entertaining and enlightening. Not to say that I agree with everything that's in it, but you don't have to do so to appreciate the book.ironically, although this book was a commercial and popular success from the start, it was very coolly received by Lewis' colleagues at Oxford, who felt it went against that professional detachment which professors were supposed to have towards, well, everything (see Humphrey Carpenter's The Inklings for a thorough discussion of this).
Still, one of my favorite books by CS Lewis.
