That Hideous Strength -- an absolute hoot. I tell you, C.S. Lewis, with his mind that grasped both heaven and hell, helped set mine at ease when exposed the dark possibilities as being quite doomed, even laughable in retrospect.

Chesterton deserves a mention here, too.

Til We Have Faces and The Pilgrim's Regress are some more good ones. It's been years since I read either of 'em; didn't understand the former when I read it-- too raw or something, but I think I am ready to read it again soon.

Also enjoyed The Dark Tower and other unfinished stories or whatever that compendium of his unfinished work is. Loved his notes on an idea for a story about Agamemnon and Helen of Troy, twenty years after her mug launched the Trojan War. Will warn ya though, it's very disappointing to get to the end of the few pages he had scribbled, and figure out that that's all there is...
