Yes, I know it has been a while since my last post, but frankly term papers and research projects took precedence. I decided to read a few of my old favorites and eventually got around to C. S. Lewis' work and it is still one of the best literary experiences I have ever read. Everyone knows the Chronicles of Narnia saga and how interesting and entertaining it was, but I actually prefer his Space Trilogy volumes and his Christian works.
While I may not completely agree with his Christian and moral beliefs, I respect his defenses of Christ far more than modern day authors or anyone else for that matter. Instead of using obscure biblical references and "holier than thou" claims, Lewis uses humor and logic to create his arguments. If you ever want a good laugh I highly recommend The Screwtape Letters unless you have a deep found respect for demons or beaurecratic organizations.
Honestly, even if you have an extremely negative view of religion Chronicles of Narnia and Space Trilogy are two fantasy stories that any aspiring bibliophile should definitely pick up.
