but have you read the one he wrote while mourning his dead wife? Holy shite, that's hard to read but well worth it. I don't know if anyone else would be capable of writing such a thing.

CS Lewis Doodle

Great Youtube channel where one guy sketches while another guy with a British accent reads Lewis' essays.

On topic...I have never read much of his stuff...I should. I read a fair amount but too much of it is fluff...I like small words.

Screwtape Lettters was one of the first books I ever read that wasn't required for school. I was like 12. Read it a few times since.

Aren't people animals?

Dammit, I came here for a literary discussion and walked into a circle jerk. How does this keep happening to me?

From a context as one who likes to study the language, Lewis' The Allegory of Love is a good study.

I just read my first book by him, "the abolition of man".

I was floored over and over while reading it with awe at his ability to convey and articulate.
