c.s.lewis is best known for the Narnian Chronicles.(The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe I think is being made into a movie right now)I think he is fantastic!
right now I am reading "The Screwtape Letters" A moral fable about temptation, faith and Christianity, cast in the form of letters from the demon Screwtape to a lesser devil. Black is white, good is evil, and Hell is a bureaucracy.
has anyone else read his Literary Works,what do you think of him?

i love c.s. lewis! the chronicles of narnia are by my bed, in a coleector's box. i didn't like the lion, the witch and the wardrobe as much as the voyage of the dawn treader. that was my fave. oh, and i hate libraries. it just annoys me. so, if i wanna read a book, i borrow it from a friend or buy it.
badkittykitty
this libary though is cool I can order what I want and get it with in like a week...I plan on ordering all the chronicles.after leaving screwtape I must leave with more c.s. lewis!

Oh man, i luv the Narnia series my favourite is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, but i'd strongly recommend all of them to any fans of Lord of the Rings and/or Harry Potter, also on the lines has any one seen the BBC dramitizations of the Narnia Chronicles they were excellent also, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe ran almost into four hours but wow, they don't make dramas like this anymore and whats more they've brought the entire series out on DVD (wOOt).
badkittykitty
when I opened kmc today this is the first thing I saw ...yay!

Love the guy. The Narnaian Chronicals are awsome! Disney's making them into a movie right now, we'll see how that goes.
shaber
Yeah, I've read the Narnian Chronicles and the Out of the Silent Planet trilogy

I've read most of the Chronicles of Narnia, and I just started the Screwtape letters.....C.S. Lewis is an excellent author....I doubt he's my absolute favorite, but mostly just beacuse I haven't read all that many of his works.
badkittykitty
the screwtape letters are my absolute favorite by him..I couldn't put that book down!
Maikahyandowen
The Chronicals of Narnia are some of the best fantasy stories though.
shaber
I haven't come across the Screwtape Letters
badkittykitty
I hope you can some day..it's very intriguing
Maikahyandowen
intriguing. i like that word. the Narnian Chronicals are amazing.
shaber
Which is your favourite one?

Although not a great fan of Christianity, I love the Narnia books... I find the way Lewis manages (especially in the "minor" chronicles) to veil his christian allegory and yet still make it obvious fascinating... The Horse and his Boy and Voyage of the Dawn Treader being the obvious examples... The Silver Chair was always my favourite, with its message taht if you stick to God's rules, you will be saved from eternity in the underworld, and the Last Battles reworking of St John the Divines Revelation serves to make the saint of Patmos's work far more accessible...
Maikahyandowen
Favorite Narnia book? Has to be The Last Battle. it's soooo awsome.
crickey77
I've got to read this books stat.
Maikahyandowen
yes. yes you do.
ToMacco
I know some of you have read these books. It's a seven book volume set. I'm on book 4.
Maikahyandowen
they're awsome! i have all seven.
badkittykitty
ToMacco! I've heard of,you rep precedes you! I merged your thread with mine (hubba hubba)
I love c.s lewis his writing style is so intelligent,I could read him all day!

I loved reading the chronicles of narnia - I even nearly cried at the end of the last one....
ElectricBugaloo
i like those books, though i haven't read any in years
well actulaly i read the magicians nephew one afternoon at my grandma's house a couple months back, but besides that...
Maikahyandowen
i think C.S. Lewis was friends with J.R.R. Tolkien too.
tassie
yeah, i've read the whole series quite a while now, and i love them
Maikahyandowen
who wouldn't?
shaber
Which of the two witches did you think was the better villain (the serpentine green witch or Jadis, "the White Witch"? )
Maikahyandowen
white witch. the green one barely did anything at all. except for that whole prince stealing thing, but other than that........
Mr Zero
CS thread indeed.
have y'all seen the pre production artwork for the Narnia movies? Very swish and high class, but it's so LOTR it's not right... tho i'm sure some folks will be delighted by this.
BK: As to Screwtape - yes cleese did a recording (tho i didnt know it was award winning!) I prefer Acklands version because he has such a dry droll voice, JC stresses the humor a little too much for my taste (in comparison).
I may have the Cleese recording saved around here in MP3 format - I'll see if I can track it down.
Fiery Eyes
Its been a very long time since i've read them, i ws in the 6th grade. But its a book i have NEVER forgotton. In the 6th grade my teacher was reading them to us and she would disguise her voice for ea charactor it was awesome
shaber
I like the way my cds on the Screwtape Letters do that final letter
Merry Lover
I love those books! I read them again just the other week, I love the Dawn Treader and the Silver Chair! They're so great! I'll have to look for those other books you all mentoned, i think CS Lewis is great, but I can't really say because I only read Narnia.
Reepicheep is my absolute favourite! He's so brave and that's so funny cos he's a mouse and braver than heaps of the others...Like when he said they should sail into the darkness in the Dawn Treader...That was so spooky!
Evy_O
I bacame interested in this book when I found out that it had influenced Tolkien, so I, being a Tolkien fan, read it and liked it lots
I also used to watch the Narnian cartoons on TV when I was little
