The Great Divorce: A Dream | Clive Staples Lewis

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘ve read this book before, but it has been at least 15 years, so it was good to go into it with fresh eyes.
I think Lewis most shines in this one when he is describing the nuances of different types of love, pity, creating, etc.
It was especially interesting to read this book with my study group after reading a more modern view on Hell & the afterlife. Lots of good thoughts & good conversations.

behudd @TheAromaofBooks forgot to say - this was my May #bookspin book! 6mo

mcctrish I got into it with someone on fb over Canada‘s recent election - they were pro-conservative and I‘m liberal - they accused me of being on the farm ( which yay them for reading ) but not understanding this quote applied to them ( so sorry about their lack of comprehension) @Eggs (edited) 7mo

Read for #classicschallenge2025 and because I‘ve had it on my bookcase forever. Obviously very preachy and religious, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Lunakay Amazing! Well done 👏🤩 7mo

I‘m surprised that 1984 is the Orwell book that‘s had so much recent traction when this allegory of authoritarianism and the corruption of power is just incredibly timely. I‘m so glad I finally read this and appreciate the reminder that none of this is new.

GingerAntics Right? I have no clue how this isn‘t way more popular right now. It feels more fitting than 1984 to me. 10mo
Hooked_on_books @GingerAntics If the orange idiot ever read anything longer than a tweet, I would have thought he read this and was using it as a playbook. 10mo
SqueakyChu I‘ve read both, and the book that left the bigger impression on me of the two was 1984. 10mo
