[P-Marlowe]

I tried several times to get into that book, and never could.

Out of the Silent Planet was a good read, but certainly not Heinlein or Azimov.

The Perelandra was boring, boring, boring. Thankfully it was a short book.

That Hideous Strength was superb. A true classic. But you really needed to read Out of the Silent Planet to understand That Hideous Strength.

[Uncle Chip]

Merlin was a wizard, not a magician.

And the difference is what??? My dictionary lists the words as synonyms of each other.

Also, IIRC Merlin was awakened from a sleep rather than being resurrected.

So he must have been Merlin Van Winkle???

See, I liked Out of the Silent Planet and thought Perelandra was okay. (I've also never read Heinlein nor Azimov.) But I never could get more than a chapter or 2 into That Hideous Strength.

To each their own.

It's a shame that Scripture wasn't enough for you to do this.

Yes it is, and I think God understands some of us aren't perfect in this way, which is why He provides other works of literature and art to inspire us.

Let me clarify:

Yes it is, and I think God understands some of us aren't perfect in this way, which is why He provides other works of literature and art to inspire us to return to scripture.
