LOL, I like your nom de plume.

I’ll bet you read it but for everyone else “The Great Divorce” by Lewis is a masterpiece of the perils of puffery and self-deception. a must read too.

Since I’ve gone beyond Narnia several years ago, I’ve read nothing but Lewis’s other works, Chesterton and George MacDonald because of the other two. What a learning experience and a lifetime of reading.

The latest Lewis I tackled was his ‘Other Worlds’ series of essays/stories that deal with sci-fi kinda themes. Here’s some other conservative Catholic sci-fi writers!

“The Great Divorce” is one of my favorites, also. The scene of the man with the lizard on his shoulder has stayed with me profoundly for the last 30 years.
