But of course! The Space Trilogy is the only science fiction that my mom owns. I must have read them a hundred times... my favorite is "Perelandra" because of the symbolism. Just gorgeous. Though there are some bits of "That Hideous Strength" which I will never, ever forget.

Ugh. Monday is OVER! I am going to have a long, hot bath, with candles and my new book and just relax.

Yikes... Perelandra was one of my favs as well. Good stuff that.

Honestly, if I were ever to attempt to write science fiction in a serious way, I wish I could write something more like the Space Trilogy - something that goes beyond science. Really, there's far more symbolism than science in his books, and I'm a sucker for symbolism...
