Did you know that Tolkien was the basis for the main characture in Out of the Silent Planet. It is true!
Tolkien wrote a short story, a ghost story that has Lewis in it. They had a bet and I do believe Lewis won.

A bit more trivia on CS Lewis. His death did not get much headlines here or in Britian. He died on the same day as John F. Kennedy.

Interesting.
It's time for me to read that trilogy again. I like to read it about every 15 years or so.
