Adult Fiction and Non-Fiction of C.S. Lewis

C.S Lewis is of course known for The Chronicles of Narnia, but anybody who says they are his most important life's work are either in the dark about his more adult works, or haven't read any of them.

The Four Loves
Anybody else read it?
I thought it was wonderful. The wit was warm (as always), the explanations seemed quite fully explained

. I think I'll read it again soon.

The Screwtape Letters
Unlike others, I didn't think much of it was funny. Amusing yes, but the advice sounded real enough if you were to give advice to a devil nephew of yours...

A Grief Observed
Like Madeleine L'Engle, for me it wasnt a tear jerker. It was sad, and truthful.

Mere Christianity
Often called the Ultimate christian apologetic book, and for good reason. It remains my favorite Lewis Non-fiction.
It's a book I can't put down even after three go-throughs.

Pending...
The Problem of Pain
Miracles
The Great Divorce
The Pilgrim's Regress
