I should let all of you know that I'm still alive. As I was unpacking my boxes, I came across a treasure: CS Lewis' The Great Divorce, as well as my copy of Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters. And as a tribute to this journal (and what it's named after!), I'll talk a little about the CS Lewis books I've read and what I've thought of them.
Books I've Read: The Chronicles of Narnia (all seven), Miracles, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters
Favourite Piece: The Great Divorce. I love the first person narration style that Lewis uses and this book is much deeper than his Narnia series (as it's for older teenagers or adults and not children!), but it's not as difficult to read as Miracles.
Favourite Narnia Book: Tie between The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Silver Chair. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was the first book that I actually remember reading (though I was reading before that) and it remains one of my favourites to this very day. The Silver Chair is another one that is dear to my heart. It's probably not the best thing for a young child to read right before bed; the first time I read it (and even now!) it creeped the daylights out of me. 0_0
Least Favourite Piece: The Horse and His Boy, hands down. And no comment to go with that other than the fact that I've noticed that people either tend to really like it or really not like it. <_<
And I guess that's enough to let you know that I'm still alive and probably give you a taste of what's to come in the future. Especially since I'm planning to get a bit more serious about this blog and since I'll be reading a lot more CS Lewis come this fall!

It's also not a good idea to listen to Silver Chair when you're going to bed! :D
