I'm not sure exactly how many of his books I've read. I can tell you the one's that have made an impact on me, or the one's I currently have on my bookshelf, all of which I have read (list bellow). But, especially when I was younger, I would go to libraries and check out any Lewis book I could find. I imagine I've read almost all of the books he's published (and a lot of them I've read multiple times), at least in part. I think he was the most logical and creative Christian who's lived in modern times. Which is saying a lot because those two qualities are nearly at odds with one another aren't they? I think he had the right ideas, or at least he went about Christianity the right way and he did it will a certain eloquence that I've never seen matched. I suppose I love his writing for the same reasons anyone loves any author: I feel as though we have something in common.
The Chronicles of Narnia Boxan Till We Have Faces Other Worlds The Worlds Last Night The Great Divorce Mere Christianity The Four Loves Surprised By Joy The Space Trilogy (except That Hideous Strength) The Screwtape Letters Spirits In Bondage A Grief Observed The Problem of Pain Letters to an American Lady
Thank you for replying :) I too have read a lot of C.S. Lewis books but I've never known anyone to be as fond of him as you are, I can totally understand the fascination with his works and not just because I love words and a good book haha !
Yeah I agree with you, he definitely sets a very good example for everyone not just Christians, it is wonderful, I just wish I had more time to read his books.
How many C.S. Lewis books have you read in total and what does his works mean to you :) ?
