pickI had to push myself to finish this but glad I read to the end to get to the conclusion and understand the full intent of the letters. It‘s a short read with old English. I enjoyed the P.S. of “Screwtape Proposes a Toast” a bit more than the letters themselves, and the Preface to them where Lewis provided context of his metaphor to his views on American education. My mom gave me this copy with some of her notes about the book. A few of mine added.
pickA thoughtful, no-frills exploration of faith, morality, and human nature. Lewis breaks down complex ideas with clarity and grace. Deep without being preachy—definitely worth the read.
pickFinally read this after collecting the set. Unfortunately I‘d recently watched the later movie adaptation which is fairly close to the events in the book. As usual, some greater depth and understanding of characters and events through reading the book, and these increased the interest. Enjoyed, quite wholesome, and looking forward to Prince Caspian, the story of which I am quite unfamiliar.
Visited a couple castles this week, so here‘s mine!
“The castle of Cair Paravel on its little hill towered up above them; before them were the sands, with rocks and little pools of salt water, and seaweed, and the smell of the sea and long miles of bluish-green waves breaking for ever and ever on the beach. And oh, the cry of the seagulls! Have you heard it? Can you remember?”
#SundayFunday Have a great day and remember to tag me!
pickPart biography of two great writers, part examination on what makes myths and fairy tales, part memoir of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien‘s friendship & influence on each other‘s writings, this graphic novel manages to be deeply moving and an encouragement for creators of any kind to find their community to grow.
This was an absolute delight. And the ending brought me to tears on my bus ride today. Absolutely would do it again. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
A fun outing to a cute little book store 🌸📖
