I'm reading The Four Loves now but have also read, Miracles, The Abolition of Man, A Grief Observed and the ones you mentioned.
Surprised by Joy is autobiographical, mainly of his younger years but has a section in it that is pretty shocking.
What does anybody here think of the movie Shadowlands?
I liked Surprised by Joy, because I found it funny, although much of his childhood was very sad, especially the death of his mother. I can’t remember anything shocking.
