I have never read any books of C.S Lewis so maybe after I finish the one's I am reading now. There are no good libraries around here where I live.So I have to buy what I read. Not only expensive but inconvenient for people like us who get tranferred to a new city every 4-5 years which in India mostly means a move of around 1000kms.However that does not deter me from adding to my pile every month! |

I adore his works and have read most if not all of them, and many of them 2 or 3 times! I am especially fond of his non-fiction works and highly recommend "God in the Dock" which is a book of essays by C.S. Lewis. It would give you a wide perspective of his great mind. If however, you prefer fiction, you can never go wrong with the Narnia Chronicles. What ever you choose, I would be most interested in your comments when you are done. Happy reading! :-) BTW - I am currently reading "Competency-Based Resumes" and "60 Seconds and Your Hired". Lol. ;-) |

I have read one of his books, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." But I am excited now about diving into his other works! |
