C.S. Lewis

Not just the chronicles of narnia but everything he's written. He is probably my all time favorite author. My favorites are his space trilogy and the screwtape letters. Anyone else like this shit?

I read The Abolition of Man by him. I prefer fiction, but occasionally read religion/philosophy, and when i do it tends to be eastern philosophy. But ya, I prefer fiction almost always whenever, not with just CS Lewis. You might guess that i liked the Chronicles of Narnia; indeed i do. But yes, some of his other stuff is worth mentioning, namely Abolition of Man.

Try The Great Divorce. It's fictionish.

The Screwtape Letters is great, probably my favorite C.S. Lewis work. The book contains wisdom that I think almost anyone can appreciate, Christian or not. C.S. Lewis was really a brilliant thinker, and this book is written in a very unique and accessible way. It's written as a series of letters between Screwtape, a demon, and his nephew, Wormwood, whom he is mentoring. Highly recommended.
