Hey Cats,
I just finished 1984, Animal Farm ,Brave New World and the Screwtape letters. There in the Screwtape letters is an additional section called Screwtape preposes a Toast. This section written in 1960 was incorporated in the book with a foward by C.S. Lewis. He shows us the root causes of the abomination of today. He lays it all out 60 years ago. He holds up a mirror that reflects what is happening today. While its not Orwell, its still none the less chilling.
I highly recommend it.

Readers are advised to remember that the devil is a liar. Not everything that Screwtape says should be assumed to be true even from his own angle

Is why I can't seem to get thru the Screwtape letters
