I'll be back regarding TWHF, Forkbeard. I am in a dash, as it were!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CS LEWIS! Thanks for Narnia et alia! a reflection (gleefully lifted from Alvin Eriol over at SF Fandom):http://www.townhall.com/columnists/...c20041129.shtml *explicitly Christian content*

OH ... MY ... GOODNESS!!
One of the best books I"ve ever read - took me 20 years to understand it, tho! FABULOUS book! Should be required reading for legalistic Christians!

Lot of time since I read it, but I remember I loved this book. Especially the first part.
... I think I was too young to understand the second one

 I don't claim to fully understand it, having read it only once... but I loved it, so moving and beautiful. It's the only (non-Narnia) Lewis-book I actually own. A nice new edition. *loves her university's bookstore*

I've read it. I'll have to re-read it... I don't really remember all of it. However, as I write this post, it's slowly coming back to me.

I read it earlier this year - I had read it (at least some of it) several years ago, without really remembering anything from it.
There are sections of it where I think Lewis is just showing what position the main character has reached, without really having shown how she got there. I feel that something is missing.
