Lewis's fiction wasn't as good as Tolkien's, but he was one of the greatest apologists of all time. So I'll have to defend him when he wasn't writing allegory. Then again, Narnia is a great series, for kids or even adults, since I reread it every few years and find yet another application. Bash him for not liking hobbits, if you like, but remember that's because he loved the Elves... oh wait, you wouldn't care, would you? I suppose you'd be praising him if he'd said that "this Elf stuff is so boring", huh?

I thought he didn't like Elves either. Wonder if Merry and Pippin drank all his pints and put a firecracker up his shorts. :)
